Hi, there!
Welcome to planDisney, Lisa. I'm so glad you stopped by! It looks like you'll be traveling to the Walt Disney World Resort next week. How exciting! There's no place I'd rather be, that's for sure.
At this time, Guests need valid admission as well as Theme Park Reservations for entry into the theme parks. The Walt Disney World Resort is certainly the most magical place to kick off the new year, so there
is limited availability for Theme Park Reservations in the days ahead. To answer your question, availability for Theme Park Reservations can change by the hour! I just checked the
Theme Park Reservation Availability calendar, and it looks like there's some availability for your arrival day and the day after, and then plenty of availability for the rest of that week!
If you don't see availability for the theme park you're hoping to visit, don't panic. If you don't find availability after frequently checking the
Disney Park Pass System, I recommend upgrading your Theme Park Tickets to include the
Park Hopper Option. With the Park Hopper Option, you can make a Theme Park Reservation where there
is availability. After you've entered that theme park on that date, you can "hop" the theme park you were hoping to visit as early as 2:00 PM that day.
Be sure to download the
My Disney Experience mobile app before your visit next week. It's magic at your fingertips! The app has lots of cool features, but my favorite is the
mobile food and beverage ordering feature. This handy tool has saved my family lots of precious time!
I hope this was helpful, Lisa. I'm wishing you a magical visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!
