When the Walt Disney World Resort theme parks closed back in March, it was announced that Annual Passes could be put on hold. Now, the extensions for the closure time are beginning to be placed on those who chose to accept them.
With the parks set to reopen on July 11, 2020 (Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom), and July 15 (Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Epcot), guests have been curious when this would happen. Now, the extensions on their Annual Pass expiration dates are starting to be pushed back the amount of time closed.
The extensions are going to be for the full amount of time that the Walt Disney World parks have been closed. That started on March 16, 2020, and it will end as of July 11.
Guests can check on the My Disney Experience website or app to see if their extensions have been processed for their annual passes. If you don’t see, there is no sense for alarm as they are just getting underway with this.
NOTE: Upon checking our MDE, my Annual Pass now expires in late May 2021 when it should have expired in January of 2021. My wife’s pass will expire in mid-September of 2021 instead of mid-May 2021 as it was just renewed during the closures.
If you are an Annual Passholder who has paid in full:
All active Walt Disney World Resort theme park and water park Annual Passes will be extended for the number of days the parks are closed. The new expiration date will be reflected on the Annual Passholder’s account prior to the reopening of the parks.
As an alternative, and in lieu of an extension of their passes, Passholders who have paid in full may choose to receive a partial refund for the park closure period. To request this alternative option, we ask that you contact VIPASSHOLDER Support at (407) 939-7277. We do anticipate heavy call volume and appreciate your patience as we answer all inquiries.
If you are an Annual Passholder on the monthly payment plan:
On April 5, 2020, we automatically stopped and will waive monthly payments due while the theme parks are closed. We will also retroactively refund payments made between March 14 through April 4, 2020. Payments will resume on the Passholder’s regularly scheduled payment dates once the parks reopen. Please note, pass expiration dates will not be extended and passes will expire upon their originally scheduled expiration dates.
As an alternative, Guests who are paying for Walt Disney World Annual Passes using our monthly payment program may choose to have their monthly payments postponed starting with payments due April 5, 2020 through the park closure period, and then resumed on the Passholder’s regularly scheduled payment date once the parks reopen. Postponed payments will be collected in the months following the end of the Passholder’s currently scheduled payment term. The pass will be extended the number of days the parks are closed. The new expiration date will be reflected on the Annual Passholder’s account prior to the reopening of the theme parks. To request this alternative option, we ask that you contact VIPASSHOLDER Support at (407) 939-7277. We do anticipate heavy call volume and appreciate your patience as we answer all inquiries.

Ok my question is. When the parks open july 11. Will my full monthly payment come out even tho I cant get in the parks? By reservation only. I have the platinum and I chose to postpone my payments. So since I can’t utilize my pass to its a full extent will my monthly payments be reduced??
