    Hello, A little late to the party but for new years eve this weekend, if I am an annual passholder (no blackouts) can I go to magic kingdom after 2 pm on Saturday and Epcot after 2 pm on Sunday without reservations? Park availability looks non existent.

    Welcome to planDisney, Nico! Thanks so much for coming to us with your question today. You're totally right: it's going to be a very busy weekend at Walt Disney World Resort! New Year's Eve and the days leading up to it are probably the most popular days of the year to be at the Most Magical Place On Earth, so let's chat about navigating how to get into the Theme Parks if you're an Annual Passholder without a Disney Park Pass reservation.

    Nico, Annual Passholders can enter any Theme Park after 2:00 PM without a Disney Park Pass reservation, except for Magic Kingdom Park on the weekends. So, while you won't be able to walk down Main Street, U.S.A., this weekend, EPCOT may still be in the cards! If you're planning on going to EPCOT this weekend without a reservation, especially on New Year's Eve, I recommend getting there as early as possible. EPCOT has a legendary celebration to ring in the new year, so Guests who are Park Hopping and Annual Passholders without reservations will be lining up well in advance to be able to get in. Magic Kingdom Park and EPCOT will both likely reach capacity this weekend, so keep an eye on the My Disney Experience app for the most up-to-date information about where you'll be able to use your Annual Pass!

    Have a magical day, Nico!
