Strategies for Annual Passholders When Parks Are at Capacity
If your preferred park is at capacity, you may still be able to visit the park of your choice by following these strategies:
Use Park Hopper Benefits
Annual Passholders can visit another park during regular park hours (subject to capacity limitations), but specific steps are required:
- Make a Theme Park Reservation: A reservation is required for the first park you plan to visit.
- Enter the Reserved Park First: You must physically enter the park you reserved before hopping to another park.
- Hop to Another Park: After entering your first park, you can hop to another park without needing a second reservation.
After 2:00 pm Rule: Annual Passholders can visit parks without a reservation after 2:00 pm. However, Magic Kingdom has restrictions on Saturdays and Sundays where this benefit doesn’t apply.
Monitor Reservation Availability
Plans change frequently during the holidays. Check the Theme Park Reservation Availability Calendar for cancellations that might open up opportunities to secure a spot.
