Your Mission: should you choose to accept it WDW annual passholders have started to receive a special invitation to serve as test pilots for the new Mission: Space attraction. The AP preview will take place August 1 to 3, during regular Epcot operating hours. Valid annual passes are required to ride.
Fiddler in the House The Epcot World Music Concert Series (link) continues, featuring Canadian fiddler Richard Wood, from July 1 to 13. According to Disney, Richard's high energy show is a combination of fiddling virtuosity and stunning showmanship. He continues to evolve an innovative approach to traditional Celtic jigs, reels, and strathspeys.
Sending Annual Passholders on a wild pin chase Now through Tuesday, July 15, WDW annual passholders can participate in a special scavenger hunt at Animal Kingdom. To play, pick up the Adventure and Magic Guide at Island Mercantile. Then go on rides, see shows, and search the park to answer the questions and complete the guide. When you finish, show the completed guide at Island Mercantile and receive your reward a logo pin. As always, limit one pin per passholder, while supplies last.

Current Discounts & Promotions
Free 5-day Park Hopper for Active Military, as well as discounted companion tickets. Offer valid through December 19, 2003 and includes all active military personnel, including Coast Guard, as well as activated National Guard and Reservists.
Play 4 Days pass Florida residents can purchase a new four-day ticket for just $109, plus tax. (That's almost 1/2 the price of a regular four-day park-hopper ticket) The ticket is valid for four admissions from now until September 30, 2003. These tickets are park-hoppers and the only block-out date is the Fourth of July.
Residents can purchase just one ticket per person, per day, so your out-of-town relatives must buy their own, regular-priced admission. Tickets are non-transferable, and you must show a valid ID each time. These tickets can be applied towards the cost of any Annual Passport, as long as you upgrade by October 31, 2003. (Your annual pass will expire one year from the date you first used your Play 4 Days Pass).
The Play 4 Days pass can be purchased at any WDW park ticket window, local AAA offices, Florida Disney Stores, by phone at (407) 939-4329 or on the WDW Web site (link).
Plan ahead and save a few bucks The Walt Disney World Resort is encouraging visitors to buy their theme park tickets before they even leave home, by offering a slight discount on advance purchases. You can save as much as $22 per adult, per ticket with the 'Advance Purchase Savings' program.
You can also receive these Advance Purchase Savings with packages purchased through AAA.
