Since the phased reopening of the theme parks, park reservations have been required for all four theme parks. Although Disney makes more park passes available at times, it’s a good idea to secure them as soon as you book your vacation. This is especially important during busier times of the year.

Holidays and school breaks increase the number of guests at Disney Parks. Park reservations fill up quickly for these times. Previously, the Disney reservation calendar allowed booking through the end of 2023. This has recently been extended through January 2024.

In June, we were shocked when Park Reservations was already filling up for the fall. At that time, Park reservations were unavailable for both Theme Park ticket holders and Disney Resort guests starting Monday, October 10th through Friday, October 14th. Additional park reservations were added.

Now the remainder of October shows limited availability for guests with both park tickets and those staying at a Disney Resort. October 18th, 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, and 24th show that both Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios are unavailable. Magic Kingdom is unavailable on October 23rd and October 31st.

November is already starting to fill up as well. As the Walt Disney World parks transform for Christmas, park reservations are now unavailable for Magic Kingdom on November 7th, 9th, and 21st. Of course, it comes as no surprise that both Christmas Day, December 25th and New Year’s Eve, December 31st, are now unavailable for the Magic Kingdom.

If the park you hope to visit does not offer a park reservation, you can still switch parks at 2:00pm with a park hopper ticket.

As mentioned above these unavailable dates affect both guests with park tickets and those staying at Disney Resorts. Park reservations are still available for Annual Passholders on all dates.
