Disney World Annual Passholder Blackout Dates Changed for August

Ever since it was announced that The Great Movie Ride and Universe of Energy are closing August 13th, people have been lining up in flocks to ride them one last time.  Only problem was for Florida residents who have a Silver Annual Pass or a Disney Weekday Select, giving them blackout dates during the month of August.  Disney was kind enough to have the Annual Passholder Blackout Dates changed and now both Silver and Weekday Select pass levels will be able to enter all parks starting on August 1st.

And the blackout dates weren’t removed only for a few days, but the entire month of August!  Again this was a problem only for Silver and Weekday Select passholders as the Gold, Platinum, and Platinum Plus didn’t have any blackout restrictions for those date anyway.

Who says Disney doesn’t care about it’s Annual Passholders?  This is a great move by Disney and is sure to have made a lot of people happy!  So use this opportunity and get down there in August to enjoy The Great Movie Ride and Universe of Energy one last time! 🙂

My name is Ziggy and I love Disney, everything Disney! I grew up on Disney and it has and continues to be a huge part of my life. I started young when my parents took me to Disney World when I was 18 months old. Little did they know that would be the first of an uncountable number of trips we would take. I have so many amazing memories going to Disney with my family and friends and it has been interwoven into my DNA.
