Ten months after Disneyland closed its doors because of COIVD, Disney Parks abruptly closed has announced that they will complete their annual passport program and offer reimbursements to existing customers. A replacement for the popular unlimited permit has been promised, but is unlikely to be offered until the pandemic is withdrawn.
Premier Passport, another type of annual pass that grants entry to parks on both coasts, is also canceled, per WDW News Day, a Disney parks news site. Remarkable Premier passports will remain active until March 31, 2021, for still open Theme parks and Walt Disney World benefits, after which they will be canceled. All annual subscriptions valid starting March 14, 2020 will be eligible for a proportional refund for the unused portion of the Disneyland subscription, details of which you can find on this Disneyland site.
Over one million people used the multi-level annual subscription, which offered exclusive benefits such as hourly travel hours, special events, sneak peeks of movies and discounts. The end of the program shocked loyal fans, especially those in California, where the two theme parks – Disneyland and Disney California Adventure – became a viable daily or weekly hangout for locals. Many they expressed their shock and dismay on social networks.

However, some advantages remain. Disneyland also announced that any subscriber with active subscriptions beginning March 14, 2020 can still receive discounts on merchandise, food and beverages at open locations in the Downtown Disney District and Buena Vista Street. There is also a 30% discount on certain goods from certain stores, from Monday to Thursday, until February 25, according to the Los Angeles Times.
When it is possible to offer a new annual subscription program again or if it will have the same benefits, remains uncertain. California theme parks can only be reopened after COVID transmission rates reach minimum levels, when park capacity would be limited to 25% and would probably require reservations. Meanwhile, Disneyland’s dormitory parking lots will be used to the fullest – as will Orange County the first massive vaccination site.
