Today, Walt Disney World announced a number of updates to the guest experience. This includes a change that will make it unnecessary for guests with date-based tickets to make separate reservations.
What’s Happening:
- Starting January 9th, 2024, Walt Disney World guests with date-based tickets will no longer be required to make a theme park reservation.
- Date-based tickets include tickets that are purchased through Disney’s website as well as those included with Disney travel packages.
- Meanwhile, other admission types, such as annual passes, convention tickets, and youth groups, will still require reservations where applicable.
- Today’s news comes ahead of 2024 Walt Disney World packages going on sale May 31st.
- More information about the Theme Park Reservation system can be found on the Walt Disney World website.
How it works:
- Starting with visits on January 9, 2024, theme park reservations will no longer be required for date-based tickets.
- A date-based ticket requires you to choose a start date when you purchase.
- For other admission types, theme park reservations may be required.
