Introducing the Disney Park Pass System

Get Ready to rediscover Walt Disney World in Florida. Here are some of the key things to know before you go including the new Disney Park Pass System for theme park reservations and the updated Park Hopper experience. Walt Disney World may be different from the last time you visited. But together with Disney, you can find new ways to create magical moments - and memories to treasure.

Top Things You Should Know As You Prepare to Visit:

  • To enter a Disney Park, both a valid Disney Ticket AND a date-specific theme park reservation are required
  • Disney Water Parks are subject to seasonal closure each year for maintenance and refurbishment. Disney Magic Tickets will include admission to Disney's Blizzard Beach or Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park, whichever is open
  • Park Hopper hours will start at 2.00pm each day and end at the park’s scheduled close time. The ability to visit another park will be subject to the park’s capacity limitations. 
  • The My Disney Experience App and Disney Genie Service will help you make the most of the magic

Theme Park Reservation Availability

 

Before you visit a Disney Park, you MUST make a reservation using the Disney Park Pass System - now available for Guests with valid Disney theme park admission to make Disney Park Reservations up to 31 December 2023. 

First, you need to either purchase your Disney Tickets or book a Disney Resort Hotel + Ticket package:

  • Ticket Only: Reservations for Disney Parks can only be made once you have paid for your Disney Tickets in full and received your Disney Ticket Confirmation
  • Disney Resort Hotel + Ticket Packages: Staying onsite at a Disney Resort Hotel is the ONLY way you can access the Disney Park Reservation System without the need to pay for your Disney Tickets in full - Secure your dream Disney holiday today with a €100 deposit and start booking your Disney Park Days as soon as you receive your Disney Hotel Confirmation Reference

A Disney Park reservation must be made for each day of entry for every member of your party; If you have a multi-day ticket, you will be required to make a park reservation for each date of your visit.

TOP TIP: We highly recommend that you make your Disney Park reservations as soon as you receive either your Disney Ticket Confirmation or your Disney Hotel Confirmation reference, as Disney Park availability can change until the reservation is finalised.

How It Works

Here’s how to use the Disney Park Pass system - and start planning for your visit to Walt Disney World in Florida.

Step 1: Link Your Admission to Your Disney Account
To get started, you’ll need your Disney Ticket Confirmation or a confirmed Disney Resort Hotel + Ticket Booking Reference which you can find in your AttractionTickets.com Customer Account.

  • First, you’ll need an account on My Disney Experience which is where your Walt Disney World plans are stored and managed. Create an account or sign in to your existing account
  • Then, link your valid Disney Ticket Confirmation or Disney Hotel Booking Reference to your Disney account
  • Please use the My Disney Experience website NOT the My Disney Experience App to set up your account and link your Disney Ticket Confirmation/Disney Hotel Booking Reference

Once your Disney booking is linked to your My Disney Experience account, you can begin to make a Disney Park reservation.

Step 2: Create Your Party
When you begin to make a reservation, you’ll be prompted to create your party from your Family & Friends list.

  • Simply select the family and friends you’d like to include, then select “Continue”
  • Don’t see someone in your travel party? Select “Add a Guest” to include them
  • Staying in a Disney Resort? Everyone in your party must also have a hotel reservation. If this varies, you will need to make separate Disney Park Pass reservations.

Step 3: Select a Date and Disney Park
Choose the date and the Disney theme park that you’d like to visit from the available reservations. Please note that dates and theme park selections are limited and subject to availability. After creating your party in the Disney Park Pass system, you’ll be prompted to:

  • Select a Date: View a calendar and choose one of the available dates for your visit.
  • Select a Theme Park: Park hours will be displayed for your convenience.
  • Select a Time: This is the time that you can visit the park.
  • Confirm your reservation.

Step 4: Review and Confirm Your Plans
Carefully review and confirm your selected park and date.

  • If you need to make any changes, select “Back” to revise your selections.
  • Before confirming, you’ll need to agree to the Terms & Conditions. Then, select “Confirm” to complete your park reservation.
  • Once confirmed, your Disney Park reservation will appear in My Plans.

Want to make another Disney Park reservation? Select “Make Another Reservation” to continue planning. As a reminder, if you have a multi-day ticket, you will be required to make a park reservation for each date of your visit.

Your new reservation(s) will appear in My Plans - both online and in the My Disney Experience app.

If you need to cancel a reservation, view your daily itinerary in My Plans, then select “Reservation Details”.

Park Hopping

The 'Park Hopping' benefit is available to all guests with a Disney Magic Ticket, allowing you to visit more than one Disney Park in a day when following the new process for reserving Disney Theme Park visits. Park Hopping will be available from 2.00pm each day, subject to park capacity limitations. Learn more about the updated Disney Park Hopper Experience.
