Hi there Lisa, Welcome back to planDisney! Thank you for stopping by with your excellent question. I'm thrilled to assist you! How exciting that you're planning a trip to
Walt Disney World Resort! You are sure to make awesome memories at The Most Magical Place on Earth!
As of January 9th, 2024, Disney World no longer requires a
Theme Park Pass Reservation for most guests. Anyone who buys a regular date-based ticket (either tickets only or as part of a vacation package) no longer has to reserve their park visit in advance. A date-based ticket requires you to choose a start date when you purchase. Theme Park Reservations are still Required for the following ticket types:
- Student group tickets
- Sports and Convention tickets
- Florida Resident Discover Disney Ticket
- Sport and Convention tickets
- Disney Military Salute Ticket
- Annual Pass
For admission types requiring theme park reservations, be sure to check
reservation availability prior to purchase. Please note that theme park reservations are limited in number and subject to availability. Availability can change until the theme park reservation is finalized.
Lisa, I hope you find this information helpful. Thank you again for visiting planDisney. We'll see ya real soon!
