Hey there, Kelly! Thanks for asking your question here at planDisney. I've sure made my fair share of
park pass reservations since the Walt Disney World Theme Parks opened back up last summer. I am more than happy to help!
First and foremost, do you already have
Walt Disney World Theme Park tickets purchased? If not, go ahead and do this. As of right now, you are able to purchase two different types of tickets. You can select a standard theme park ticket that allows you to enter one Walt Disney World Theme Park per day or you can purchase a standard theme park ticket with the park hopper option which lets you "hop" between multiple theme parks in one day. The choice is yours! Once you have your tickets, you are going to link them to your
MyDisneyExperience account. If you don't have an account yet, it's very easy to set one up. Once your tickets are linked, you can head to the park pass reservation website. You'll need to first verify that there is, indeed, park pass availability using the
availability calendar. The calendar is broken down into three categories - Guests with a Walt Disney World Resort stay, Guests with theme park tickets only and Guests who are Annual Passholders. You'll want to make sure you are looking at the correct calendar because availability does vary by category. If there is availability for the dates you'd like to visit the Walt Disney World Theme Parks you can go ahead and visit the
park pass reservation website. Once you are on that page, you'll be prompted to create your party. You can select all who will be visiting the Walt Disney World Theme Parks with you as long as you are linked as friends or family on your MyDisneyExperience account. Once your party is selected you'll be taken to a calendar to choose the date you'd like to visit. Click over to the July calendar and select the first day you'd like to go to the Walt Disney World Theme Parks. You are only able to make park pass reservations one day at a time. After you've selected the date, you'll be taken to the next page where you'll choose what park to go to. Once you've made that choice, you'll see a confirmation and you can start the process over by choosing the option to make another park pass reservation. It may seem like a lot of steps but it's very user-friendly and won't take any time at all.
Kelly, I took a look at the availability calendar for your trip in July and it looks like there are plenty of choices left each day. Sometimes the calendar can fill up pretty quickly so I'd recommend going ahead and making your park pass reservations sooner rather than later so you can get your first choice of theme parks each day.
I hope this helps. If you have any other questions before your trip or need more help making park pass reservations, please do come back and
ask me.
Have fun!
