If you are a Walt Disney World Annual Passholder on the monthly payment plan, remember this.
It looks as though the company has just pushed through multiple months of payments for Disney World annual passholders who are on the monthly payment plan. Several users have taken to Twitter to share their frustrations.

Did @Disney really just charge me 4 months of the annual pass at once when their parks are still closed!! This is BS. Never getting an annual pass again.

Evidently it was a computer glitch and they’ll be processing refunds. I usually pay $103/month for 3 passes and got walloped for $413… I’m like “umm, did I just book a hotel room?!”

Did anyone else get charged a high amount today by @Disney Annual Pass? #AnnualPass #Disney #DisneyParks

It looks like this was a computer glitch, according to Twitter user @mikeletcher, and Disney should be processing refunds for those charged multiple times.
UPDATE: The payment system apparently underwent an update, causing the charges to appear on passholders' accounts. Disney is aware of the issue and working to resolve it. https://t.co/duXa1vCCSP

Disney has since admitted that this was an error and is working to correct it: “Passholders on the monthly payment program were incorrectly charged today. We are in the process of reversing these charges and apologize for the inconvenience this caused.” Read more here.
Keep an eye on your bank account, and we recommend contacting Disney directly for help and more information.

Remember that when Disney World reopens to Guests next month, things at the theme Park will look different. Social distancing measures will be implemented, including excessive cleanliness, encouragement of mobile orders, plexiglass, and, as we previously mentioned, eliminating character meet and greets. Also being eliminated from the parks are parades and fireworks, along with other similar entertainment that draws a crowd, and much more.
