Hi Kevin,
Certain
Walt Disney World annual passes, mostly those that are available to those of us who are Florida residents and to DVC members, have blockout dates during peak periods. I'm not sure which pass you have, but in general, most of the blockout dates apply to the Silver and Weekday Select passes.
The blockout normally is in place for the two weeks at Easter, two weeks or so during the Christmas and New Year's holidays and the peak summer months from early June to mid-August. The Gold Pass has fewer blockout weeks, usually just the days around Easter, Christmas and New Year's.
The easiest place to find blockout dates is on the
My Disney Experience Mobile App. In the Park Hours & Info section, there's a link for annual passholders to the blockout date calendar. Right now, however, that schedule only goes through November 2017.
On the Walt Disney World website, you will find a link to the blockout date schedule in the section that
describes each annual pass option. As of today, that calendar goes through April 2018.
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Kevin. Please let us know if you have any other questions about being a Walt Disney World annual passholder. We're always happy to help where we can.
Enjoy,
Wilma
