Welcome to planDisney, Felipe, and thanks for this great question. As a fellow annual passholder, I'm excited about the recent changes in park hopping and theme park reservations, so let's look at how the
new passholder system works.
I chatted with a friendly Cast Member who said you should be able to enter any theme park after 2:00 PM without a reservation, regardless of reservation availability. The exception is
Magic Kingdom Park on the weekends, but any other park will allow annual passholders to enter after 2:00 PM without a reservation.
Remember that
theme park reservation availability is separate from theme parks reaching capacity. I see you are visiting around the holidays, so if a theme park reaches capacity, guests will only be allowed to enter once enough guests exit the park.
You can monitor park capacity in your
My Disney Experience Mobile App under the "Park Hours & Info" tile to see if a theme park is allowing entry due to capacity. A friendly Cast Member also shared that guests can call (407) 560-5000 for information about theme park capacity.
One final tip is that starting January 9, 2024, annual passholders can park hop at any time after scanning into their reserved theme park! I plan to use this perk to hop over and join those 1:00 PM virtual queues for
TRON Lightcycle / Run and
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.
Felipe, I hope your upcoming visit is joyous and bright. And if you're like me, your annual pass is going to get a workout in the coming year! Please
stop by planDisney anytime.
Magic awaits,
Elaine
