We have now confirmed the rumor that Walt Disney World Annual Passholders will soon need to show their pass in the My Disney Experience app to prove eligibility for both dining and merchandise discounts.

Currently, Annual Passholders can show their photo ID and physical pass. However, Annual Pass cards no longer have their expiration date printed on the back. As a result, Disney is updating the policy to require guests prove their eligibility exclusively with My Disney Experience instead.

Passholders can find their pass in the app by clicking the three-lined “hamburger” menu, then “Tickets and Passes.” You may need to scroll past the tickets of friends and family who are linked to you to find your own pass. It will show your name, the pass type (such as a Sorcerer Pass), and the expiration date.

It was rumored Passholders would need to show the app for dining discounts. We have confirmed it will be needed for merchandise discounts too.

How do you feel about Annual Passholders needing to show the My Disney Experience app to prove their discounts? Let us know in the comments.
