The reopening of Walt Disney World Resort theme parks is less than a month away, starting July 11 with Magic Kingdom Park and Disney’s Animal Kingdom and followed July 15 by EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. To limit attendance and control guest density to follow the guidance from health and government authorities on physical distancing, Disney is introducing the new Disney Park Pass System.
The Disney Park Pass System will allow you to make a required reservation in advance for each park entry using the new online tool at DisneyWorld.com.
You will need the following information to make a reservation:
My Disney Experience account - this is where your Walt Disney World Resort plans are stored and managed.
Valid theme park ticket or Annual Pass that’s linked to your My Disney Experience account.
If you have a Disney Resort hotel reservation, be sure to link it to your My Disney Experience account beforehand, as well.
Once you log into your My Disney Experience account and link your ticket, you’ll 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 your visit.
Families and friends can link their tickets together and arrange theme park entries at the same time.
Important Details
Reservations are limited and subject to availability and are not guaranteed until a 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.
A park reservation must be made for each day of entry. If you have a multi-day ticket, you will be required to make a park reservation for each date of your visit.
We highly recommend that you make your park reservation as soon as you complete your ticket purchase, as availability can change until the reservation is finalized.
Unfortunately, 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, and can visit DisneyWorld.com/Updates for more information. Disney is hoping to bring back the ability to visit more than one park per day soon and will continue to offer these add-ons for 2021 ticket purchases.
The Disney Park Pass system will be available soon to select Guests. Booking dates vary based on your plans.
Beginning June 22, 2020, Disney Resort and other select hotel Guests with valid theme park admission can make reservations.
Beginning June 26, 2020, Annual Passholders without a Resort stay can make reservations.
Beginning June 28, 2020, existing ticket holders can make reservations.
Park reservations will be available through September 26, 2021, based on your Resort stay and ticket eligibility or ticket eligibility window.
If you booked a vacation package, your ticket eligibility is tied to your package travel dates. To make a park reservation for a different date, be sure to modify your vacation package dates.
If you have a room-only reservation at a Disney Resort or other select hotel for a stay in 2021, please call the Disney Reservation Center or call your travel professional beginning on June 24 to upgrade to a vacation package with tickets—and then make your theme park reservations.
By June 28, all Guests will be able to purchase new Disney Resort hotel packages and theme park tickets and make their park reservations for arrivals starting in 2021 as our phased reopening continues. Guests will be able to view park reservation availability online prior to purchasing their tickets
Later this summer, sales of 2020 tickets and Disney Resort hotel arrivals will resume, based on availability of park reservations, while Disney continues to provide Guests with existing tickets and Annual Passholders the opportunity to make park reservations for 2020 dates.
