What Is V.I.PASSHOLDER Summer Days?
V.I.PASSHOLDER Summer Days is Disney World’s annual summer celebration designed exclusively for Annual Passholders. It returns in 2026 from May 1 through July 31, and this year’s edition is packed: exclusive merchandise, limited-time food and beverage items, a new popcorn bucket, up to 40% dining discounts Monday through Thursday, and the returning Passholder Lounge inside EPCOT’s Morocco Pavilion.
But the piece that’s generating the most buzz right now? That Toy Story collectible magnet. Disney collectible magnets have become a serious hobby for many Annual Passholders, and a Buzz and Woody design is going to be a popular one.
The Toy Story Collectible Magnet
Disney teased the 2026 magnet with a classic bit of cryptic messaging: “You’ve gotta be laser-focused to guess who’s on this new magnet…” — a clear nod to Buzz Lightyear’s iconic laser. The magnet has since been confirmed as a Buzz and Woody design.
It will be available at the Creations Shop in EPCOT, daily from park opening through closing. That means you’ll want to have your Annual Pass ready and plan to swing by EPCOT during your summer visits to pick one up. Availability could be limited on high-traffic days, so don’t wait until July 31 to try to grab it.
The Toy Story theme is clearly intentional — Toy Story 5 is releasing in theaters on June 19, 2026, and Disney is leaning into that energy across the parks this summer. It’s a fun way to tie the film release into the Passholder experience.
Other Perks Coming with Summer Days 2026
The Toy Story magnet is just one piece of the V.I.PASSHOLDER Summer Days 2026 lineup. Here’s what else is confirmed so far:
- Dining discounts up to 40% at 12 participating restaurants across all four theme parks and select resorts — valid Monday through Thursday, May 1 through July 31
- Passholder Lounge at Restaurant Marrakesh inside EPCOT’s Morocco Pavilion, open daily 11 AM to 7 PM, with complimentary snacks, water, and Passholder buttons
- New Passholder-exclusive merchandise and a new popcorn bucket design
- Limited-time food and beverage items exclusive to Passholders
How to Get the Free Magnet
To claim the free Toy Story collectible magnet, you’ll need to be a valid Walt Disney World Annual Passholder and visit the Creations Shop in EPCOT during the V.I.PASSHOLDER Summer Days event window (May 1 through July 31, 2026). Have your Annual Pass ready at the shop — you’ll need to show it to claim the magnet.
Disney has said the magnet will be available daily from park opening through closing at the Creations Shop. That said, high-demand items like these can sell out or run low on busy days. If you’re visiting during a particularly crowded weekend, it’s worth heading to the Creations Shop early in the day just to be safe.
