Has anyone here gotten a new Annual Pass in person TODAY?

If so, can you post a picture of what the front of the new Passholder cards look like? I'm curious if they are actually in the colors of Silver, Gold, Platinum, etc.

The new passholder media is a yellow card with Mickey's face on it and it says "PASSHOLDER" or something like that - they aren't actually colored silver/gold/etc.

Thanks.... so there is no easily visible way to tell the difference between the levels? Do you have a pic you can post?

Nope, I don't have a picture. If no one has posted one by tomorrow, I'll try and take one when I get off work.

All passes that include parking - which is all the new passes except the water parks annual passes (which didn't change at all and have always been issued on standard ticket media) - will be on the same yellow Mickey card. There will be no way to tell what type of pass is on the card simply by looking at it.

The old black-striped cards that we used for 'old' pass types that didn't include parking will stick around a while for folks who lose theirs and need a replacement, but no new passes will be issued on that media.

I did get a picture - here it is. I hope I uploaded it right?

Yep, this is it folks. FOR EVERYONE!
Every level! Why is that? BECAUSE THEY ALL INCLUDE PARKING! YAY! So this is what distinguishes us from the day guests that pay parking. Now, they all look the same. Otherwise, the entitlements don't matter to differentiate the color of the pass. Also, this is now your discount card and your parking pass. No further discount passes are coming. MBs are still included.

Just curious-so how do they know which AP you have? There are blackout dates for the Gold, but not the Platinum? Is the exact info on your MBs?

@Simba's Mom To be honest, that isn't anything new. The only thing distinguishing the former passes was parking or non. Otherwise, they were all on the same media, (the orange stripe) whether you had the former Premium or Annual. (Black stripe for non parking, whether it was EPCOT after 4 or Seasonal.) It doesn't matter visually what kind of pass you have. Now that they all have parking, it all depends on what entitlements YOUR ticket currently has. You will either get a green mickey when you hit the touch point with the MB or ticket media, or you won't. (Also, the MDX app won't let you book FPs on a block out. That should be a good indication right there...)
