You know that feeling when you create happiness for someone else? Well, I’ve had that feeling ever since our Chairman, Josh D’Amaro, shared that children visiting through Make-A-Wish and other wish-granting organizations would be among the first to board Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser. These are some of our most special guests, and I can’t wait to officially welcome these families from all over the country as they embark on their maiden voyage later this week.

Disney World Will Use a Virtual Queue for NEW Annual Passholder Magnets!
Do you have any Disney World Annual Passholder magnets?
New Passholder Logo
Disney World recently changed their Annual Passholder program, and it’s been some time since we’ve been able to pick up Annual Passholder magnets in Disney World. Now Disney is giving us another chance with a totally NEW magnet design, inspired by the 50th anniversary celebration. And best of all, Disney World is making it easier than ever to pick one up!
If you’re a Disney World Annual Passholder and you visit the My Disney Experience app, check out the Passholder Buzz section for news about your Annual Pass. Today, we were pretty excited to see that a NEW magnet is coming soon to Disney World!

From March 2nd to March 30th, a special complimentary 50th Anniversary Celebration Magnet will be available for Disney World Annual Passholders! This magnet will be available exclusively in Disney Springs, and there will be a virtual queue, so you don’t have to worry about standing in line for hours.

This new magnet features Mickey and Minnie and lots of EARidescent sparkles, and Disney Senior Designer Connor noted that there’s a “glitter effect embedded into the magnet.” Connor also said that this magnet is designed with “newstalgia” in mind, or a combination of new and nostalgia, with the retro logo of Disney World and the modern Mickey and Minnie artwork. Connor also hinted at future Passholder magnet surprises!

Before you get your magnet, Disney recommends that you make sure your Family & Friends List is accurate in the My Disney Experience app so that you can also pick up a magnet for a friend or family member who has an Annual Pass. You must provide your Passholder ID and photo ID to pick up a magnet, and it’s limited to one magnet per Passholder.

The virtual queue will be available on the My Disney Experience app beginning at 9AM on March 2nd, and you must be within 45 miles of Disney Springs to enter the queue. The queue could reopen at various times throughout the day, so it might be worth checking if you miss out. Once your time is called, you must get in line at Disney’s Wonderful World of Memories store within one hour, and return times will be between 10AM and 10PM.
Wonderful World of Memories Gift Shop
While you’re waiting for your time to be called, you can also enjoy limited-time Passholder offerings in Disney Springs! These special offerings include Passholder props at the Disney PhotoPass Studio…
