Disney World Unveils 3 Exclusive Passholder Perks at Hollywood Studios, Effective August 11
Disney World Annual Passholders have another reason to plan a trip to Disney’s Hollywood Studios this month. Disney has announced three limited-time perks available exclusively to Passholders beginning August 11, giving members a chance to collect a new souvenir, enjoy a themed treat, and capture a one-of-a-kind vacation photo.
The offerings won’t be around forever, making them another example of the exclusive experiences Disney regularly creates for its most loyal guests. If you’re an Annual Passholder and enjoy collecting limited-edition merchandise or trying seasonal snacks, this latest promotion may be worth adding to your plans.
Kermit Takes Center Stage
The star of this newest promotion is none other than Kermit the Frog.
Disney has revealed that Kermit will be featured on its newest Annual Passholder magnet, continuing the long-running tradition of releasing collectible magnets throughout the year. These giveaways have become favorites among Passholders, with many guests making special trips just to add each new design to their collection.
The magnet also celebrates The Muppets’ growing presence at Disney’s Hollywood Studios following the debut of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets earlier this year. While every magnet has its own unique design, Disney typically offers them for a limited time, making them popular keepsakes that often disappear once supplies run out.
A Specialty Treat Inspired by Kermit
The Muppets-themed fun continues with an exclusive dessert.
Passholders visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios can purchase a Key Lime Kermit Milkshake at Dockside Diner during the promotion. The limited-time drink joins the growing lineup of snacks Disney has created specifically for Annual Passholders during seasonal events and special celebrations.
To purchase the milkshake, guests must present a valid Annual Pass in the My Disney Experience app along with a government-issued photo ID.
Limited-time food offerings have become another popular benefit of Passholder promotions, as they allow guests to try items they won’t find on the year-round menu. This newest addition keeps the spotlight on Kermit while giving Passholders another exclusive experience during their visit.
Capture a Magical Kermit Photo
Along with the magnet and milkshake, Disney is also giving Passholders an exclusive PhotoPass opportunity.
PhotoPass photographers will offer a Magic Shot that adds Kermit the Frog to guests’ photos after they’re taken. Instead of meeting Kermit in person, Passholders will see the famous frog magically appear in the finished image through Disney’s PhotoPass technology.
Magic Shots remain among the most enjoyable PhotoPass experiences because they transform an ordinary vacation photo into something a little more memorable. Since this version is reserved for Annual Passholders, it’s another way Disney is rewarding guests who visit the parks regularly.
For fans of The Muppets, the experience pairs nicely with a ride on Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets before stopping for the exclusive milkshake and picking up the collectible magnet.
Important Dates and Details
All three Passholder perks begin on August 11, 2026, and continue through September 24, 2026, while supplies last.
Passholders can pick up the Kermit magnet at Mickey Shorts Theater during normal park operating hours. Disney requires each eligible Passholder to be present with a valid Annual Pass and a government-issued photo ID. Distribution is limited to one magnet per Passholder while supplies remain available.
The Key Lime Kermit Milkshake will be served at Dockside Diner during regular operating hours. Guests must show their Annual Pass in the My Disney Experience app along with a photo ID when ordering.
Meanwhile, the exclusive Kermit Magic Shot will be available daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Disney PhotoPass photographers. Disney notes that locations, availability, and operating times may change because of weather or other operational needs.
Passholders should also remember that entering Disney’s Hollywood Studios still requires compliance with certain Annual Pass admission policies. This includes
- A park reservation (when required)
- Entering after 2 p.m. on eligible days
- Or visiting during a Good-to-Go day
More Reasons to Be an Annual Passholder
These new experiences are just a small part of the benefits that come with a Walt Disney World Annual Pass.
Passholders receive discounts on merchandise and dining at many locations throughout the resort. They also receive complimentary standard theme park parking, occasional savings on Disney Resort hotel stays, access to exclusive merch, and special pricing on select ticketed events.
Disney also introduces limited-time perks throughout the year, including Passholder lounges and preview opportunities for select new attractions. Because many of these offerings rotate throughout the year, there’s often something new waiting for returning visitors.
A Limited-Time Reason to Visit
Disney continues to find new ways to reward its Annual Passholders. This latest promotion brings together collectible merchandise, exclusive food, and a memorable PhotoPass experience in one package.
Whether you’re hoping to bring home the newest Kermit magnet, sip the Key Lime Kermit Milkshake, or leave with a Magic Shot featuring everyone’s favorite frog, these limited-time perks offer another reason to spend a day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios before the promotion wraps up in late September.
