Disney announces more details on its Disney Park Pass System for Walt Disney World theme park reservations

Disney has today announced full details on its plans to manage attendance at the Walt Disney World theme parks when they begin their phased reopening from the COVID-19 shutdown.

Notably, park hopping will not be allowed, and reservations will be taken through to September 26 2021.

Here are the full details:

Magic Kingdom park and Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park will begin a phased reopening on July 11—with Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios reopening on July 15.
To manage attendance during this reopening period, while also helping Guests plan ahead before their arrival, we are introducing the new Disney Park Pass system. During this time, all Guests with valid admission will be required to make a reservation in advance for each park entry, using this new online tool.
To enter a park, both a park reservation AND valid admission for the same park on the same date are required for each person in your party ages 3 and up (limit one park per day).
Booking Dates for Park Reservations
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.
Want to Book a New Vacation?
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, we will resume sales of 2020 tickets and Disney Resort hotel arrivals, based on availability of park reservations, while we continue to provide Guests with existing tickets and Annual Passholders the opportunity to make park reservations for 2020 dates.

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.

How does LLMP work with the good to go days? I have/had reservations at Epcot and MK on the 11th and 12th respectively and was going to go ahead and get LLMP for those days as my birthday gift to myself. I planned on changing the 12th to AK since it was cheaper and go do the safari and some throw aways (or just cancel the extras) then hop over to MK for the rest of the day, but I didn't get around to making the change in my reservation, so now I'm stuck showing MK for that day. Since it's good to go can I just book the LLMP for any park now? or am I now stuck to paying the MK price?
