Hey there, Kevin! Welcome to planDisney and thanks for stopping by with such a great question.
I couldn't be happier to see that the magic is calling, and you are answering the call by becoming a
Walt Disney World Annual Passholder. The magic called me to become a Passholder, too, and I have loved every magical moment. Being able to head to my happy place time and time again brings joy and magic to my everyday life, and the only thing that makes a visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth more magical is a visit with family. Now, let's make sure you can join in on the family fun!
As of January 9, 2024,
Theme Park Reservations will no longer be required for Guests with date-based theme park tickets. However, as an Annual Passholder, you will still need to make Theme Park Reservations to enter the theme parks during your March visit. There will be some "Good-to-go" days where Annual Passholders will not need a reservation, and you can find which days are "good-to-go" on the
Annual Passholder Admission Calendar as they are rolled out, starting in January. As an Annual Passholder, after January 9th, you
can enter the theme parks after 2:00 p.m. without a reservation (except for Magic Kingdom Park on Saturdays or Sundays). But to make sure you can join your family at the parks of your choice all day long, I recommend making Theme Park Reservations as soon as you can.
Kevin, be sure to keep an eye on the
Walt Disney World website and the
Disney Parks Blog for upcoming announcements about the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. While we don't yet know the dates the 2024 festival will run, this year, it began in early March. I'm hoping this oh-so-beautiful festival is in full bloom during your family adventure!
I hope this helps, Kevin, and I hope you and your family have the most magical and memorable time together! Please feel free to stop by any time with any questions you have along the way. You've got a friend in me!
See ya real soon,
Mandy
