List of Disney World Passholder Magnets Over The Years

One of the perks of being a Disney Annual Passholder is the free Disney Passholder magnets. There are two types, the first being a standard Disney Annual Passholder magnet which arrives by mail. The second type is the special event Passholder magnet. These are often given out at special events, usually festivals, to Disney Passholders who have entered the park. To them, you simply goto a pickup location, scan your Magicband or Disney Annual Pass, and receive your free Disney magnet.

These magnets can be placed on any metallic object, such as a refrigerator or even a car. Many do add these magnets to their car, however, due to a high rise in the theft of these magnets, yes even in the Disney World parking lots, many opted to put these magnets on their refrigerator at home.

There are a lot of different designs and character Passholder magnets. Let’s run through all of them to date.

The Original Disney Passholder Magnet

This was the black & white original Disney Passholder magnet. It was given to Disney Annual Passholders and was in black and white only. This was replaced by the Mickey orange standard magnet listed below.

Orange Standard Mickey Magnet

When you become a Walt Disney World Annual Passholder you are mailed a free Passholder Magnet. This magnet is orange with Mickey on it with the text “Walt Disney World Passholder” written below. These magnets can take some time to get so be patient.

In addition to the first one you receive, you will also get a new one mailed to you each time you renew. It will be the same design.

Mickey Holiday Magnet 2017

This was the first uniquely designed Passholder magnet. This magnet featured the standard Passholder magnet but with a blue background and Christmas lights strung up around Mickey.

An email went out to all Passholders letting them know they could pick up this Disney Christmas magnet from December 1st-17th, 2017 from Mickey’s Hollywood at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

2018 Epcot Flower & Garden Festival Mickey & Minnie Magnet

For Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival in 2018, Disney offered two magnets to be released during different dates. Passholders could claim both magnets if they visited the parks during those periods.

This magnet contained Figment, from Journey Into Imagination with Figment. The design of this magnet features Figment’s face with a purple background.

2019 Flower & Garden Festival Pluto & Daisy Magnets

In 2019, Disney continued its trend of releasing two different magnets for the 2019 Flower & Garden Festival. These two magnets would be released at different dates during the festival.

These magnets had some controversy around them. These magnets were larger than the previous set of magents released. They also were not made with the same quality as many posted into Facebook groups photos of the new magnets pealing.

Flower And Garden 2019 Pluto Magnet

From March 6th through April 10th, the Pluto magnet could be picked up by Passholders at both Mouse Gears and Port of Entry. This magnet featured Pluto with a turquoise background and green leaves.

Complimentary Simba Magnet at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park

In order to try and draw crowds away from the opening of Star War’s Galaxy’s Edge, Disney released the Simba Magnet at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This was a limited release from August 29th through September 5th. During this release, Disney ran out of the Simba Magnets by September 1st and offered to mail the magnets to any Passholder that arrived up until September 5th.

These magnets were back to the normal-sized magnets and also look to be the same quality as the magnets previous to the 2019 Flower & Garden magnets. It seems as if Disney heard the complaints and switched back to their previous vendor for these magnets.

2019 Food & Wine Festival: Chef Minnie & Remy Magnet

Both of these magnets come together on one sheet and must be popped out. These magnets are much smaller than the typical Disney passholder magnets.
