Disney’s Park Pass Reservations for Annual Passholders
Disney announced on January 10th that Disney’s Park Pass Reservations would soon change in a few months but did not give an exact date till today. Disney has officially shared that the newest Park Pass switch will start on April 18th, 2023.Beginning on April 18th, Annual Passholders will be able to visit the Walt Disney World theme parks after 2pm without going online and booking a Park Pass reservation like normal Disney guest. Though there are some exceptions to this.
The exception will apply to Annual Passholders intending to visit Magic Kingdom on Saturdays and Sundays. So, if an Annual Passholder would like to go to Magic Kingdom on Saturdays or Sundays, they’ll need a Park Pass regardless of the time of day they want to visit.
“While the theme park reservation system remains important to manage attendance in our parks, especially on busier days, we realize our Passholders enjoy more spontaneous visits – and this change will make that possible.”
Walt Disney World Annual Passholders: Park reservation requirements will be relaxed for visits after 2 p.m.*
Beginning April 18, Walt Disney World Annual Passholders will be able to visit the theme parks after 2 p.m. without needing a park reservation, except on Saturdays and Sundays at Magic Kingdom Park. Pass blockout dates will continue to apply like they do today. While the theme park reservation system remains important to manage attendance in our parks, especially on busier days, we realize our Passholders enjoy more spontaneous visits – and this change will make that possible. Starting March 20, Passholders will also receive access to Disney PhotoPass lenses and one complimentary Cinderella Castle Mural of Memories experience (age restrictions apply). Visit Cinderella Castle Mural of Memories and Disney PhotoPass Lenses for details, restrictions and other information.* We are also excited to provide Passholders with a new offering starting March 20 where you can create and share short Disney-themed video slideshows with favorite photos from your theme park visits.
