A new reservation system is coming to Walt Disney World when the parks reopen in July, the resort announced Friday.
The new Disney Park Pass system will allow guests with a ticket or Annual Pass to make a reservation in advance for each park. A reservation and valid admission for the same park on the same day are required for each person ages 3 and up, the resort announced.
Beginning Monday, Disney Resort and other select hotel guests who already have a valid park admission can make reservations. Annual passholders can begin making reservations on June 26, and existing ticket holders can make reservations beginning June 28.
Park reservations can be made through Sept. 26, 2021 based on each guest’s resort ticket eligibility or ticket eligibility window, the resort stated.
The tool will be available at DisneyWorld.com.
