Walt Disney World adds merchandise and dining annual pass discounts for 45th anniversary year

Walt Disney World passholders can celebrate the resort’s 45th anniversary with a year’s worth of new merchandise and dining annual pass discounts throughout the property.

The big news is that from now through September 30, 2017, Walt Disney World annual passholders save 20% on food and non-alcoholic beverages at select table service and quick service locations in the theme parks, hotels, and Disney Springs. Once the offer ends next year, annual passholder will continue to receive 10% off at select table service dining locations. These discounts are valid at all mealtimes; go to Disney’s annual passholder dining benefit webpage for a detailed list of participating restaurants.
