Walt Disney World has added 4 bonus reservation days for Annual Passholders in early January 2024.

January 4 - Disney's Animal Kingdom
January 6 - Magic Kingdom
January 7 - Disney's Hollywood Studios
January 8 - EPCOT

In summary:

You still need a park reservation to visit any park.

Unless it is after 2PM, then you can tap in anywhere without a reservation.

But if it is a weekend and you want to go the Magic Kingdom after 2PM, you still need to make a park reservation or you have to make a reservation and tap in at another park, before being able to hop to the Magic Kingdom.

However, if it is a "good to go" day, none of the above applies.

Unless your particular Annual Pass is blocked out for the good to go day, in which case you will not be good to go.

It's SO Easy!

Indeed.

The (now defunct) Platinum AP had no blockout dates. It also included Photopass downloads, waterparks, and ESPN Wide World of Sports. Sigh.

And it cost less money than the current top tier AP.

Ugh, I didn't realize Good-to-Go days were park specific.... I thought we were just, you know, good to go (any park) on those days.

Good-To-Go Days will be for all parks and are replacing bonus reservations. The first set of those days will be announced on January 11.

Thank you. I was getting heated. Even for seasoned returning passholders this parkpass structure is too complicated.

 

[KDM31091]

I really don't understand why Disney insists on making this so ridiculously complicated. The whole "data" argument makes no sense to me since you can change the reservation on a whim and soon, you can hop immediately anyway, so are they really basing any significant amount of staffing on these? It's time to just abolish it completely. It made sense during COVID. It is no longer necessary.

As a local, I'm just going to continue making reservations anyway as it's easier than weeding through the flowchart to figure out whether I "need" it or not.

That's of your eating the certain with peasant bread with the crust. At the chefs table, no crust and its $187.

Cheap disney passholders have the best deal in orlando. You try to go one of the slowest weeks and disney just has to keep the cannon fodder coming in to make sure you buy genie plus on top of those expensive tickets.

You need a flow chart to figure all this out.

Except my understanding is that come Jan 7 you can hop at anytime with a reservation, you just can’t enter without one prior to 2pm.

FYI, Magic Kingdom is now sold out until 1/1/2024!

Magic Kingdom Tickets Sold Out Through End of 2023

Single day tickets to Magic Kingdom are now sold out through the end of 2023 as the busy holiday season continues at Disney World

And it will not surprise me if they restrict Park Hopping (or AP entry after 2pm w/out reservations) into Magic Kingdom either tomorrow and/or on New Year's Eve.

According to the Annual Passholder Park Reservation calendar, all parks are currently no longer available for new reservations on January 5, 6 and 7.

They need to just drop it…just run a park like a park and take your lumps.

The fact that you have failed to reinvest in your parks to the levels needed for 2024 isn’t gonna be hidden by beating the APs away.

but it must be that most of the runners are AP holders (causing locals to be blocked out during a slow week ;-)

Anyone know what happened to that lawsuit of IncrediPass passholders who sued Disney over not getting what was sold? i.e. The pass says you can visit every day of the year but if no park reservations available, then in reality you can't.
