Trying to keep passholders from cancelling 

In an effort to help ward off complaints from annual passholders who cannot effectively use their pass, Disney has announced that passholders who do not cancel their passes by the end of the day today will receive an additional one-month (30 days) extension to their pass, as well as a special magnet featuring Tinker Bell that will be mailed to them. 

However, these small perks may be cold comfort for annual passholders, who are not getting much value from their annual passes right now, especially as neighbor Universal Orlando Resort has been actively courting local guests with special "appreciation" days, limited time parks, and even giving locals special deals that include a "buy a day, get the rest of 2020 free" ticket. 

While it seems unlikely that Disney will shift gears any time in the next few weeks, we'd imagine as the pandemic wears on and guest levels slow down even more in the fall, they may begin opening things up for annual passholders again. But until then, annual passholders are unfortunately going to have to settle for very low theme parks availability (and of course their Tinker Ball magnet). 

As always, while this situation is evolving, all travelers should check out the CDC's official site here, which has information on the virus and how to prevent its spread.
