Walt Disney World's theme parks are now effectively sold out for most ticket options during the upcoming Thanksgiving week.

Magic Kingdom will be a busy place during the upcoming Thanksgiving week

The latest Disney Park Pass availability calendar shows all parks unavailable from Saturday, November 20 through Friday, November 26 2021.

The lack of Disney Park Pass availability applies to regular day tickets and guests staying at Walt Disney World Resort hotels.

Annual Passholders have some availability during the week, but that is rapidly diminishing with nothing available on November 22 and 23.

Although Disney has moved beyond any form of social distancing at the Walt Disney World parks, there are still capacity restrictions imposed by operational conditions, including staffing levels. So although the parks are at current capacity limits, attendance will not reach pre-pandemic levels.

Before COVID-19, the parks routinely hit capacity during holiday periods; specifically, Magic Kingdom would often close due to maximum attendance on July 4 and New Year's Eve.

Disney's Hollywood Studios continues to be a popular park with its recent new ride additions

With the arrival of the Park Pass system, Disney can manage attendance ahead of time, so the days of park phased closing due to capacity appear gone, except for park hopping.

Since park hopping was re-introduced, it has only been possible to hop to another park after tapping into the first park and moving to the second park after 2pm if available. So far, October 1 has been the only time that park hopping has been restricted. It remains to be seen if we will see restrictions on park hopping during Thanksgiving.

WDW still calls this a perk?

Thank you! I've only done LLMP 1 other trip for just 2 days and just did them for where we were reserved for. I'm not sure I clicked on different parks to see if it would let me do it. I did see you can pick any 4 when I looked at it recently for this trip; but then it yelled that I was too early etc, so I wasn't sure if I'd get to that point and then it be like "oops sorry can't do it for here"

Even without good to go days, a reservation for any park allows you to buy LLMP for any of the 4 and select return times at any time, it doesn’t have to be at your reserved park since you can hop any time after scanning into your reserved park.

Yes the system ignores existing reservations on Good to Go Days. Eg. On a Good to Go Day, you can have a reservation for MK, and enter DAK first, without issue.

It no longer gives me the option to cancel, the links for the cancel or modify are no longer on those "reservations" though they are released b/c I had 3/4 available again (I had 1/4 before the good to go opened them up). Confirmation numbers are also gone. That's why I'm curious how it will act since my profile will show MK that I can't get rid of it. Hopefully it'll just see it as nothing and I can book for wherever come the 9th.

Just cancel your reservations on the 11th and 12th. You can purchase LLMP 3 days in advance (7 if you are an AP with a resort reservation) for whatever park you like. You can make up to 3 LLs in advance in the same park. As soon as you use that first LLMP, you are free to book another LL in any park you choose.

What Are ‘Good-to-Go Days’? The ‘Good-to-Go’ perk was introduced in January 2024 as a way to offer Annual Passholders more flexibility, reducing the need to book visits far in advance—especially on lower-attendance days. Since the park reservation system was implemented in 2020, Passholders have had to plan alongside regular ticket holders, making spontaneous visits more challenging. I think it's fantastic that what was once included standard, is now a "perk". Meanwhile the people green lighting 40% AP Discounts to salvage the Summer Season wonder why no one is going to their Resort.
