It seems nonsensical on the one hand - if I go the week of the 15th, I don’t need a reservation for two non-consecutive days, but do on other days.
OTOH, all parks are available for reservations every day.
As someone else alluded to, I’d use this as their official “crowd calendar” projection and shoot for a week with more circles for lower crowds (as I always do with outside crowd calendars.)
…which could backfire if everyone does the same and it ends up being crowded.

Do we really need this which has absolutely nothing to do with this thread?It’s what I expected and a small step in the right direction. Hopefully this will lead back to complete openness for AP’s. The only ones affected are locals who go to parks on a whim but in reality Floridians have much worse personal freedoms already taken away

Anyone else having issues cancelling reservations for those days? Ive been trying to cancel my ressies for the 23rd and 24th this morning and it keeps giving me an error message.

Is it true APs do not need PPRs for any WDW park Except Magic Kingdom if entering after 2PM ?

My wife and I had reservations for the 16th, when I look at 'My Theme Park Reservations', it tells me
"These Guests no longer need a theme park reservation.
They can visit this park on this date without one, because this date is now a good-to-go day. Valid admission required."
So I assume it no longer counts against my limits.
It is nice to see the good to go is resort wide. I would love for them to just update (day before at the latest) that the day will be good to go if all four parks have open reservations.

A lot going on with the site this morning. Today was the first day of a new Florida Resident ticket special. That area has been down all morning so probably all of MDE is affected.

"Annual Passholders may also continue to visit without a park reservation after 2 p.m. unless visiting Magic Kingdom Park on a Saturday or Sunday (blockout dates continue to apply)."
So thats where I got the 2PM from.
Sorry I wasn't clear on what you meant. If arriving before 2pm, you still need a park pass, or it needs to be a good to go day

Yea, I was asking about after 2PM.

this is correct, but a PPR is only needed after 2pm for MK on Sat/Sun. Weekdays you can go there after 2pm without a PPR.

It is interesting that for almost 50 years, up till 2019, WDW did not want or need PPRs.

These dates also match the Cast Member Good-to-Go dates. 3 of which are during my upcoming trip, which means combined with the 3 allowed reservations, covers the 6 days we need when other out-of-town friend is visiting... more than 3 days in advance.
That was always one of the most frustrating things. WDW has 4 parks, but CMs were limited to 3 reservations, so you never knew if the 4th park would be available on the day you wanted it (work around was always book MK and DHS days and hope Epcot or AK would be bookable once you used 1 of the 3 reservations).

Wow, 6 whole days across the next three weeks. Makes planning as an Out-of-State Incredipass holder so easy... /s
I think the bottom line, my thought is if you are staying on property, whether you are AP or not, you should not need a reservation. On-property APs should not have to make reservations.

It's like when company uses rebates. They know must people won't go through the process of filling out form and then waiting for a check.

This seems like it would be simple enough to program (they already show the dates an AP holder is at a Disney resort) and it’s already capacity-restricted due to the number of rooms available. Do it to save headaches for your Guest Services resort hotel CMs if for no other reason!
This feels more complicated than filing income taxes now. I am more confident about my child tax credit than I am about scanning into MK any given day.

@lentesta are you going to incorporate “good to go” days into your predicted crowd modeling?

We will. We'll probably need at least 30 of them in order to evaluate whether they have predictive power.
