Hi there, Jennifer!
Thanks for visiting planDisney with your question. I'm happy to help!
I'm so happy to hEAR you're planning ahead for a future Walt Disney World Resort vacation. It sounds like you're already aware that entry to a theme park requires valid admission and a
Disney Park Pass reservation. It's highly recommended that you check for theme park availability for the days you'd like to visit Walt Disney World's four amazing theme parks
before purchasing your
Theme Park Tickets.
No need to worry, it's easy to check availability with the
Theme Park Availability Calendar. You'll be able to see a monthly calendar, and you can check to see if your desired date and theme park are available before you purchase a ticket or vacation package. There are three different types of Park Pass reservations: Guests with Theme Park Tickets, Guests of
Select Disney Resort Hotels, and Annual Passholders. Make sure to select the type of reservation that applies to your travel party for the dates you'd like to visit.
There is a limited supply of Park Pass reservations for each day, so it is recommended you make your theme park reservations immediately after purchasing your Theme Park Tickets or vacation package.
I hope this helps with your planning! Please come back and visit us here at planDisney with any other questions we can help answer for you as you plan.
