Disney Park Pass Reservation System: Unlock Walt Disney World Adventures

It’s almost time for magic as we prepare for the reopening of Walt Disney World Resort theme parks, starting July 11 with Magic Kingdom Theme Park and Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park and followed July 15 by EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Disney is taking a deliberate approach that includes limits on attendance and controlled guest density to align with guidance from health and government authorities on physical distancing. They are also using technology to power creative solutions as we develop new ways for guests to visit The Most Magical Place on Earth in this unique environment.

To manage attendance during this reopening period, My Disney Experience is introducing the new Disney Park Pass reservation system. During this time, all guests with a ticket or Annual Pass will be required to make a reservation in advance for each park entry, using this new online tool on the My Disney Experience website or app.

How the Disney Park Reservation System Works

Here are a few important details to know about this new system:

• You will need a My Disney Experience account, as this is where their Walt Disney World Resort plans are stored and managed.
• You will also need a valid theme park ticket or Annual Pass that’s linked to their My Disney Experience account.
• If you have a Disney Resort hotel reservation, be sure to link it to this My Disney Experience account beforehand, as well.

Once you have logged into your My Disney Experience account and linked your ticket,  you will have access to a calendar of available reservation dates for each theme park.

If you have a multi-day ticket, you will be required to make a park reservation for each date of their visit. Families and friends can link their tickets together and look to arrange theme park entries at the same time.

Important Disney Park Pass Details

Please note, park reservations are limited in number and subject to availability. Availability can change until the reservation is finalized.

At this time, guests will be able to select one park per day; visiting more than one park per day will be temporarily unavailable upon the reopening of the theme parks due to attendance limitations. Guests with existing tickets that include the Park Hopper Option or Park Hopper Plus Option have options available to them for ticket modifications and cancellations.

Park Pass Reservations For Existing Ticket Holders and Annual Passholders:

Beginning this week, we will reach out to existing ticket holders and Annual Passholders with more information on when they will be able to check availability to make their park reservations. We will open the Disney Park pass reservation system to these guests in phases, beginning with those with future Disney Resort and other select hotel stays. Later this summer, we will resume sales of 2023 tickets and Disney Resort hotel arrivals, based on the availability of park reservations, while we continue to provide guests with existing tickets and Annual Passholders the opportunity to make park reservations for 2023 dates.

New Disney Park Updates Coming

New Disney Park Updates ComingAs you begin planning your upcoming visits, we’re also exploring engaging ways for guests to use their mobile tech to experience the magic – particularly now as the use of phones and apps continues to evolve. In 2021, we plan to unveil an innovative new offering as part of the My Disney Experience app that will bring features of a MagicBand to your smart devices, building on the app’s existing digital key feature. With this new offering on the horizon, we will be retiring our complimentary MagicBand distribution to Disney Resort hotel guests for new reservations with arrivals beginning Jan. 1, 2021. Disney Resort hotel guests will continue to have the option to purchase new MagicBands at a discount, and we’ll be introducing even more colors and designs featuring favorite Disney characters in the future. Guests who prefer not to purchase a discounted MagicBand will be able to use the My Disney Experience app or a Key to the World card during their visit.

 

We understand these updates may change the way you plan your visits to the Walt Disney World Resort theme parks and Disney Resort hotels for the time being. We are focused on making your Walt Disney World Resort experience magical, convenient, and enjoyable.
