December 25 is showing availability again for Annual Passholders for all four parks, including Magic Kingdom.

If I was told “no”
With a $1500 pass…it would result in a major financial loss for TWDC

As well as the MK for 12/31.
I'm guessing they're just adjusting inventory of available park reservations and date based tickets, and that by the end of the day everything will be back being available again.
It would be a very weird coincidence if both parks sold out simultaneously on the same day for the exact same dates in December.

Epcot is now fully available again.
MK still not for Tickets and Resort guests on 12/31. I'm sure that will change by the end of today.

You guys are spoiled, worried about Christmas day, meanwhile here’s what my $1400 DL pass looks like for the next few months.

This is a joke. They should make it a punch card and allow 26 visits per year with no reservations or blackouts except 12/24-1/1.
Then sell a vlogger pass with unlimited visits for $10k.

I would love an option like this.
I’d love it if Disney went to tickets based on number of days rather than the current AP system, day 1 is full price with each additional day being 25% off the previous price. $150 for day 1, $115 for day 2, $85 for day 3, $65 for day 4, $50 for day 5, $35 for day 6, $30 for day 7… THEN every day after that is an additional $30. So a 10 day pass would be $740, a 15 day pass would be $950, a 20 day pass would be $1160, a 25 day pass would be $1370, a 30 day pass would be $1580, a 100 day pass would be $3320, etc… if someone wanted to go all 365 days they technically could, their price would end up being $11630 though (or $32 a day on average).
So the first week would be $530, then each additional day would be $30. The APs get a deal but there’s still a substantial enough charge most people won’t be using their pass hundreds of days a year, so Disney wouldn’t need to require reservations.
Special days like Christmas, New Years, etc could be a higher price day ($50-75), still a deal for the APs but expensive enough that all the APs don’t show up and overwhelm the park.
I think this system would do 2 things simultaneously, 1) provide more value to the average guest and encourage them to take multiple trips a year and 2) also encourage the super AP user not to come 100+ days a year, to the point Disney gets less and less value from them.

Crazy idea: honoring an annual pass as they are sold

They're sold as requiring reservations. We just don't like it.
Although it's not bad at WDW as we can enter after 2 with no reservations. Not sure if DL does that.

DLR does not do that at this time.

Double layer of restrictions
Blackout windows up front and a first come, first serve (so they say) on top of that stretches the bonds of logic
