Hi there, Paula!
I am so happy that you stopped by with this question because I can absolutely see how the new system may lead to a bit of confusion.
You are right that you do have a period of days to use your theme park tickets after your first day. Now one of the experience updates that was instituted in 2020 was the introduction of the
Disney Park Pass system.
With the Disney Park Pass system, you still have the same amount of time to use your theme park tickets, but you must also have a reservation for each theme park on the day that you wish to visit.
Now, Paula, reservations are limited, so I recommend that you go ahead and make the reservations for the days that you think you will want to visit. If you need to, you can always change the dates that you are visiting as long as there is still availability on the
availability calendar.
I hope that this gave you a bit of clarification, Paula. Please come back here if we can help answer any other questions for you!
See you real soon!
Sarah B.
