One of EPCOT's top Annual Passholder perks is back for this year's V.I.Passholder Days, though Disney is closely controlling access.

Throughout the V.I.Passholders event, running until July 13th, a special lounge for Annual Passholders is open inside EPCOT’s Morocco Pavilion at Restaurant Marrakesh.

The AP lounge is available from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, offering:

- Air-conditioned relaxation
- Complimentary snacks and water
- Mobile charging stations
- Free Passholder button
- Special Disney PhotoPass options

However, access is restricted to Annual Passholders only, without the option to bring non-AP guests.

Passholders must present a valid Annual Pass card, a linked MagicBand, MagicBand+, Disney MagicMobile pass, and government-issued ID for entry.

This lounge is part of the larger V.I.Passholder celebration, which also includes:

- 40% discounts at select table-service restaurants (Monday-Thursday, May 14th to June 30th) such as Boatwright’s Dining Hall and Cape May Cafe.
