Overview

• Multiple Disney-focused outlets report the lighting and audio cues tied to Annual Passholders, Disney Vacation Club members, and certain MagicBands have been inactive for several days.
• The missing effects have been observed at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, with a firsthand confirmation at Magic Kingdom from Kenny the Pirate.
• Since 2021, Passholders saw purple-and-yellow lights and DVC members heard a “Welcome Home” greeting, while select MagicBands triggered custom sounds and colors.
• Where Disney once paused these extras only during busy early-morning periods, reports now indicate the effects are absent throughout the day.
• Guests still enter the parks normally with a standard green confirmation, and social-media reactions reflect disappointment over the lost personalized touch.
