    Now that Chester and Hester’s is closed, is there a new location for annual pass holders to scan and get a current magnet?

    Hi Brenda, and welcome back to planDisney. I’m always happy to chat with a fellow Passholder!

    It always feels like a bit of extra pixie dust when Disney announces a new Passholder magnet and the pickup dates coincide with one of my upcoming trips. These magnets are offered periodically for a limited time, so there isn’t always one to collect. 

    I’d suggest keeping an eye on the Walt Disney World Annual Passholders Instagram account since they usually post hints before new magnets are announced. When one is available, you’ll find dates and pickup details in The Passholder Buzz section of the My Disney Experience app. On the home screen, scroll down until you see Discover The Passholder Buzz and press the Learn More button. I was lucky that the last magnet, featuring Ray from The Princess and the Frog, fell during my birthday trip earlier this year. In that case, the pickup location was at Creations Shop in EPCOT from January 21 to February 28, 2025.

    If you’ll still be at Disney World in mid-May, V.I.PASSHOLDER Summer Days begins on May 14 and goes through July 13, 2025. One of the special perks includes the exclusive Passholder Lounge in EPCOT, which is a perfect spot to rest during the hot summer weather! The lounge will be located in the beautiful Morocco Pavilion and will feature complimentary snacks and water, PhotoPass opportunities, and a Passholder button. There’s also a 40% discount at certain restaurants Monday through Thursday during the event, including some of my favorites like Tusker House and Tiffins!

    If you’ll be back home by then, you can still celebrate with 20% off at DisneyStore.com from June 2 to 22, 2025. Be sure that your Annual Pass is linked to your MyDisney account so you’ll be all set to apply the discount!

    I’m wishing you a magical visit to Disney World next month. If you have any other questions, we’d love to have you back at planDisney!
