Disneyland Annual Passholder Days returns with Retro Character Meets

For a stress-free Disney or Universal Studios vacation, let the FREE expert planners at Royal Carriage Vacations take care of every detail including dining reservations, applying discounts, and onboard cruise credit.

No one throws an Annual Passholder party like Disneyland.  From February 10 to March 9, 2017 Disneyland Annual Passholders are invited to take a Retro jouney to remind them of 1972. This special celebration will also offer “Retro Characters.”  One might assume that to mean characters that appeared in movies prior to 1972.

Disneyland – Re-ignite excitement as we honor our APs… and the quintessential parade that dazzles from beginning to end!

Starting February 10, AP Days are back and packed with more magic than ever before—it’s our way of saying “thank you” to Annual Passholders! Feel the love with exclusive amenities and retro-inspired revelry surrounding the illustrious arrival of the Main Street Electrical Parade, a timeless Disneyland tradition that debuted in 1972. After a stint in the vault, this cherished treasure once again returns to its native roots, lighting up park nights while illuminating imaginations young and old.

You’re invited to commemorate the occasion with AP-only offerings, secret menu items and more—it’s a flurry of festivities Annual Passholders simply can’t miss!
