NEWS: New Annual Pass, Tables In Wonderland Purchases Still Suspended

With capacity impacted by COVID-19, Walt Disney World has still not resumed sales of Annual Passes or Tables in Wonderland discount cards.

Walt Disney World continues to limp forward with limited capacity–and perhaps even more limited demand–for its theme park and dining services. As such it is no real surprise that Disney hopes to maximize the amount of revenue it can squeeze from these venues. Sales of single and multi day theme park tickets resumed in early July. However, new Annual Pass purchases are still on hold with no indication of when guests may again purchase the valuable theme park admission.

Current Annual Passholders have been offered extensions or refunds to compensate for the COVID closure. But those hoping to purchase a new pass or even upgrade from Magic Your Way tickets are unable to do so.

Meanwhile, Disney has also suspended sales of the Tables in Wonderland discount card. Tables in Wonderland provides a 20% discount on most food and beverage purchases for a period of 1 year at a cost of $150.

Disney recently announced that current Tables in Wonderland cardholders would have their expiration date extended for 4 months beyond the date printed on the card. This applies to all memberships which were originally scheduled to expire March 2020 or later.

Disney’s dining plans are also unavailable at this time.

Fortunately, most dining discounts offered to Disney Vacation Club members and Annual Passholders remain in force. This includes savings of 10% or more at dozens of locations like Beaches & Cream Soda Shop, Le Cellier Steakhouse and Olivia’s Cafe.

My enthusiasm for all things Disney all started when my parents took our family to WDW for a vacation. My first trip was at age 13. Since that first time, I have made a trip to WDW almost every year from age 13. As far as I knew there was only one place to vacation! My fascination with WDW began on that first trip. I wanted to know how things at WDW operated and what made it so magical. I wanted to know details like how many people worked there and the length of the monorail track. It is that fascination that fueled my interest in WDW. Each year that my family vacationed at WDW, I learned more about WDW as they built more parks and added more attractions. I am not the average fan; I want to know all the details and I love researching the facts of WDW. I research facts through the Internet, books and DVDs. To me, the best part is to conduct research trip at WDW. After college, my father was transferred to Orlando and I moved with my parents. Seeking employment, I applied for a job at WDW. I passed the first rounds of interviews and was proud to join the Disney family as a security cast member! The job was great. It included Disney-specific training and security training before assuming four duties: driving a security vehicle, standing a post, working in a resort or walking a park or other area. Sometimes I even had special duties like working the Epcot Christmas Processional. I would escort the celebrity guests from backstage to onstage. Interestingly, every cast member is given a WDW fact book monthly to aid in answering guest questions. The pocket book contained great Disney facts that added more fuel for my thirst of Disney facts. Well, all-good things must come to end so we moved back to NJ. In the summer of 2010 I moved back to Florida I am now living in Orlando less then 15 minutes from WDW and living the dream and have fun along the way.
