Disney has announced a special limited-time event at Disney’s Animal Kingdom where Passholders can pick up a set of three character magnets. This distribution offers a second chance to complete collections with designs featuring some fan-favorite characters.
This article outlines the dates, location, and requirements for claiming this magnet bundle so you can plan your visit accordingly.
Magnet Distribution Details
This special distribution event is scheduled for a specific window in December 2025. Passholders can visit Disney’s Animal Kingdom from December 3 through December 19, 2025, to claim their bundle.
The bundle includes three distinct magnets that were originally released in 2024 and earlier in 2025. The featured characters are:
- Moana
- The Lion King
- Lilo & Stitch
Disney is making these available specifically for Passholders who might have purchased their passes recently or simply missed the initial distribution windows for these specific designs.
Where to Pick Up Your Bundle
To collect the magnets, Passholders must visit Discovery Trading Company located on Discovery Island within Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The distribution will take place during the park’s normal operating hours.
It is important to note that the magnets are available only while supplies last. Given the popularity of these collectibles, visiting earlier in the distribution window is often a good strategy to ensure availability.
Eligibility and Requirements
There are specific requirements Passholders must meet to claim their magnets. When you arrive at Discovery Trading Company, a Cast Member will ask for verification of your status.
You must present the following items:
- A valid Walt Disney World Annual Pass (via a physical card or MagicBand)
- A valid government-issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license)
Additionally, Passholders must have valid admission to enter Disney’s Animal Kingdom. If you plan to visit the park before 2:00 PM, a park reservation is currently required. However, if you are arriving after 2:00 PM, reservation requirements are generally waived for Passholders, allowing for more spontaneous afternoon visits to pick up the magnets.
Planning Your Visit
This December distribution offers a convenient way to catch up on missed collectibles without needing to track them down through secondary markets. Whether you are a local resident popping in for an afternoon or planning a holiday trip, you can add these three distinct designs to your refrigerator or car.
Remember to check the park hours for Disney’s Animal Kingdom before you go, and ensure your Annual Pass is linked and active. With Hei Hei, Stitch, and the duo of Timon & Pumbaa up for grabs, this is a worthwhile stop for any Passholder looking to show off their Disney fandom.
