Disney Premier Annual Passholders Receiving Refunds

In the midst of the pandemic, and with Disneyland still being closed, a lot of Annual Passholders felt like they weren’t getting their monies worth and decided to cancel their AP’s. Passholders would be refunded for the remaining excess days on their annual pass from July 11, 2020 through the pass expiration date (as extended, if applicable). Refunds to the original form of payment would be expected by mid-to late September. 

But, these refunds are taking longer than expected due to Cast Members having to manually refund each individually based on differences between each customer’s account.

But good news looks to be on the horizon, for Premier Annual Passholders at least. It looks as though Guests with Premier Annual Passes are finally getting their refunds. 

🚨Disney Premier AP’s🚨

I just got my AP refund today via check. I assume they had to send our refunds by check since the Disneyland and Disney World systems don’t speak with each other. It’s for the full refund and not just the Disney World amount like I’d been told.

Premier Annual Passes are passes that can  be used for both Disney World and Disneyland. 

Here were the options regarding Disney World Annual Passes:

If you are an Annual Passholder that has paid in full, your options are:

• Receive an additional one-month (30 days) extension to your pass (unless you choose to cancel your pass). This additional month will automatically be processed and visible in your My Disney Experience account over the coming weeks.
• If you prefer, and in lieu of the one-month extension, you may choose to cancel your annual pass(es). Your pass will remain valid through August 11, 2020 and will be canceled effective August 12, 2020. You will be refunded for the remaining access days of your annual pass from July 11, 2020 through your pass expiration date (as extended, if applicable). Refunds to original form of payment can be expected by mid- to late September. Refunds may take up to an additional month to receive if original form of payment is not available. To request this option, contact V.I.PASSHOLDER Support at (407) 939-7277.

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

• Receive an additional one-month (30 days) extension to your pass(es) (unless you choose to cancel your pass(es)). This additional month will automatically be processed and visible in your My Disney Experience account over the coming weeks.
• If you prefer, and in lieu of the additional one-month extension, you may choose to cancel your annual pass(es). If you choose this option, 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. Any payments made between July 11, 2020 and August 11, 2020 will be retroactively refunded. If you made a payment between March 14, 2020 through April 4, 2020 that was not already refunded, that payment will also be retroactively refunded. Refunds to original form of payment can be expected by mid- to late September. Refunds may take up to an additional month to receive if original form of payment is not available. To request this option, contact V.I.PASSHOLDER Support at (407) 939-7277.
