    First Ever Donald Duck Annual Passholder Magnet Coming Soon To Disney World

    Annual Passholders love their Annual Passholder magnets and guests are going to be really excited about the first ever magnet to feature Donald Duck.

    Annual Passholders will be able to pick up their complimentary magnet at Hollywood Studios starting May 18th and will be offered though June 29th.

    We love the new magnets and the fact that they keep adding new characters.  One more thing to collect!

    As always, with a sure to be popular item like this, get yours while supplies last.
