    Do you have to make advanced reservations before entering park and resort!

    Hello, Earl and welcome to planDisney! 

    Earl, we all need a little Magic and just as the Genie helped Aladdin, I’m happy to be your guide as you discover A Whole New World

    Now, the quick answer to your question is YES, complimentary reservations in addition to a valid theme park ticket are required to enter any of the Disney Parks at this time. As I see you are a Florida resident, let’s talk about both Disneyland Resort in California and the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. 

    First, at the Disneyland Resort in California it’s very important to note that due to state reopening restrictions, only residents of California are permitted to visit Disneyland Park and Disney’s California Adventure. For those guests who reside in California, complimentary theme park reservations can be made HERE.  

    Moving across the country to the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, you would make your Disney Park Pass reservations HERE. There is no residency restriction at the Walt Disney World Resort for guests, however in order to visit a Disney Resorts Collection hotel you will need to be a guest of the hotel OR hold an advanced dining reservation at an on-site restaurant. 

    Earl, I hope you find this information helpful as you are making plans. Remember, UNlike Aladdin, we here at planDisney encourage unlimited wishes, so come on back with any additional questions and we’ll do our best to help you create a Magical trip.
