Walt Disney World has abruptly changed their policy for international Cast Members’ admission to theme parks.

International Cast Members Admission Policy

Walt Disney World Cast Members are provided with a complimentary Main Entrance Pass or Self-Admission Pass that allows them and a select number of guests entry into the parks. The type of pass and restrictions vary depending on if they are full-time, third-party, etc.

According to a tip received by WDWNT, the policy regarding admission for international employees was changed without warning recently. They are no longer receiving the less-used Self-Admission Pass but the Main Entrance Pass. The restrictions include only 16 uses per year. Cast Members can admit themselves and up to three others but must enter together. Previously, a Cast Member and their guests could enter separately at different times.

Visits are subject to the theme parks reservations system and these Cast are limited to holding just three reservations at a time. Reservations are difficult to get as all Cast Members with a Main Entrance Pass pull from the same pool (a similar situation with Disneyland Resort Magic Key holders led to a lawsuit). Reservations for the Self-Admission Pass are usually available.

Reportedly, Disney did not notify Cast Members of this change and some who traveled to the parks for a visit had their reservations unexpectedly canceled that same day.
