Disney Park Pass reservations could receive Major Overhaul in 2023

The Disney Park Pass Reservations at Walt Disney World could be getting a major overhaul next year. It appears this will be one of the first changes coming to Disney under Bob Iger’s newest reign.

The current Park Pass Reservation system requires guests to make a reservation for each day of their visit to which park they’d like to enter. This is along with the valid admission required to enter a park. Much of the existing system will be removed and simplified in 2023, providing guests with an experience closer to pre-pandemic conditions.

Guests with date-based tickets will no longer be required to make park pass reservations starting in early 2023. Park entry will be guaranteed with the purchase of date-based tickets. Annual Passholders will still need to make park pass reservations, at least initially.


Park hopping will also change! Right now, guests with park-hopper tickets can’t park-hop until 2 pm. Next year, guests with date-based tickets will be able to park-hop at any time. Annual Passholders will still be restricted but might be able to park hop earlier than 2 pm.

The new system for 2023 will control attendance by limiting ticket sales for a given day rather than selling an unlimited number of tickets and restricting access via a Park Pass.

All of this information is speculation and Disney has not yet announced anything regarding these changes. Keep an eye out for official information to come!
