Does the Park Shoppers Pass Still Exist?

[mickey0624]

In past years, you used to be able to "purchase" a ticket to park to go in specifically to shop and if you exited within an hour you were not charged. Does anyone know if this policy is still in place?

I don’t believe anything like this currently exists.

Never heard of it. But I googled it and saw these (and have no idea if their info is legit):

I stand corrected! Who knew this existed??

Not mentioned is that parking would need to be paid too so that adds a cost to the option but it’s neat IF it exists!

Update: Based on comments below it may not be available any longer.

One of the two comments on the first article is from someone who tried this July 2021. They were told it is no longer available. The article was from May, so who knows if it still works.

It existed. As in past tense. Reports of being denied a pass started well before the pandemic came.

I tried this in December and it was a no go!

I don't believe this has been offered for a few years.

Actually it still does. You have to purchase a 1 day ticket at Guest Services. Then you have to be back within 1 hr to get a refund and that apparently is strict. And that isn’t as much time as you’d think at Disney. Yes, you’ll pay for parking which isn’t refundable.

That's not true. They do not offer this option anymore. You can visit Guest Relations and and sometimes they will arrange to have it sent to you, but it depends on how busy they are that day. They will not allow you to purchase any special event merchandise though.

You'll have to hope you get a CM who will refund. I wouldn't count on it, most have no clue it ever existed. Be prepared to spend the full cost of the ticket. Be happy if you get it back.
