Disney World has made it easier for Annual Passholders to visit the theme parks after the busy holiday weekend. Check which days are affected and how to make reservations.

Annual Passholder Limits

Annual Passes are a great benefit to many Guests who visit the Disney Parks regularly. However, Annual Passholders have a limited number of Park Reservations that they can secure without a hotel reservation.

Let’s look at how many Park Reservations are available for each Annual Passholder Tier:

Disney Incredi-Pass: Up to 5 reservations at a time
Disney Sorcerer Pass: Up to 5 reservations at a time
Disney Pirate Pass: Up to 4 reservations at a time
Disney Pixie Dust Pass: Up to 3 reservations at a time

To enter a theme park, Passholders must have a reservation and valid admission, subject to availability and pass blockout dates. This makes it challenging for local Annual Passholders and offsite guests wanting longer park visits.

Changes Coming

Starting January 9, 2024, Guests with Park Hopper benefits or an Annual Pass can visit another theme park at any time during park hours, subject to capacity limitations. Annual Passholders can enjoy Park Hopper access after their initial park visit on reservation-required days.

Annual Passholders can enter theme parks without reservations after 2 PM, except at Magic Kingdom on weekends. Pass blockout dates apply. And see why you may not need bonus days HERE.

New Bonus Days

Despite positive changes, Annual Passholders still require park reservations. Disney World now offers bonus reservations that do not count against Passholder limits, making it easier to visit.
