WDW Passholders Receive Further Info Regarding Refund Policy & Aug. 11 Deadline

Walt Disney World annual passholders have received communication this morning via email and push notification with details regarding important dates, refund policy, and pass extension and cancellation information.

The information sent this morning follows up on an email detailing options sent to passholders on July 14th. Disney has further refined the details regarding their refund policy for annual passholders currently utilizing the monthly payment system.

Annual passholders who wish to cancel their passes have until Tuesday, August 11th to do so. Disney has added a quick-reference table of important dates to the annual passholder information page, as seen below.

Disney’s policy, as stated on the Walt Disney World website, is below:

If you are an Annual Passholder on the monthly payment plan, your options are:

Option 1: Continue with your pass(es) and receive a 30-day extension (no additional action required). You’ll receive an additional one-month (30 days) extension to your pass(es).

  • This additional month will automatically be processed and visible in your My Disney Experience account over the coming weeks.
  • With this option, you may also be eligible for an automatically processed partial refund if your payments exceed the usable value of your pass(es) per the details here on when partial refunds apply and how they are calculated.
  • Refunds to original form of payment can be expected by mid- to late September. If original form of payment is not available, you should expect a check by mid- to late October.
  • Please note that the V.I.PASSHOLDER Support phone line is not able to provide a specific refund amount since each pass circumstance is unique and based on factors such as: new or renewal, down payment amount, refunds to date, future payments, etc.

Option 2: Cancel your pass(es). If you prefer, and in lieu of the additional one-month extension, you may choose to cancel your annual pass(es).

  • Monthly payments will be stopped starting August 12, 2020. Your pass(es) will remain valid through August 11, 2020 and will be canceled effective August 12, 2020.
  • You may also be eligible for an automatically processed partial refund if your payments exceeded the usable value of your pass(es) per the details here on how partial refunds, if applicable, are calculated.
  • Refunds to original form of payment can be expected by mid- to late September. If original form of payment is not available, you should expect a check by mid- to late October.
