The park pass reservation system is…controversial to say the least.
Cinderella Castle for the 50th Anniversary
Not only is the system itself kinda confusing if you’re not expecting it, but it changes a LOT. We last saw a change to the system in November, but now if you’re an Annual Passholder in Disney World, we’ve got some big news for you, because the system is changing AGAIN!
Back in January, it was announced that park passes would be changing for Annual Passholders to help them be able to make more spontaneous trips. Many local annual passholders enjoy hopping into the parks randomly during the day, and the park pass reservation system has made that difficult.
Currently, everyone can park hop after 2PM, but now, starting tomorrow, annual passholders can enter any park WITHOUT a reservation after 2PM!
Hey, Mickey!
However, all annual passholders will still need to make park reservations on Saturdays and Sundays for Magic Kingdom. This all starts tomorrow, April 18th, so be ready!

This could just be the beginning of the park pass reservation systems changing, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB for all the latest Disney news!
