Hiya David - welcome to
planDisney!
It's great that your crew is escaping our Ohio winter wonderland for some sunshine and pixie dust! You're visiting during the
Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary Celebration and I can't wait for you to experience all that entails - exciting new food and beverage, brand new attractions, new nighttime fireworks spectaculars, and so much more!
The Walt Disney World Resort's
Park Pass Reservation System is a great way to ensure all Guests have a safe and magical experience when visiting the four
Theme Parks. You are correct that
Annual Passes do currently have limits to the number of reservations that can be held at one time. This limit is rolling, which means that after you use one, you can immediately make a new one. Also, be sure to keep an eye out for a yellow star on certain dates on the calendar when
making Park Pass Reservations. These are dates with Bonus Reservations available for select Theme Parks exclusively for Annual Passholders, and they don't count toward your limit - hoorays!
For your Guest with regular tickets, one Park Pass Reservation can be made for each day of their multi-day ticket. Keep in mind that availability can differ for Annual Passes compared to standard multi-day tickets.
Are you staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel during your visit? If so, you are able to make Park Pass reservations for the entire length of your stay, and those reservations don't count toward your Annual Passes limit. To do so, just make sure your Resort hotel reservation is properly linked to your My Disney Experience account, and ensure all Guests staying in the room are also linked to the reservation. Once that's squared away, simply click the "Book Park Reservation for Hotel Guest" link when
initiating your Park Pass Reservation and you'll be on your way!
I hope this helps your planning a bit - if any other questions come up please don't hesitate to
reach out to me!
