Some existing Walt Disney World Annual Passholders will soon be able to make more theme park reservations

Aug 30, 2021 in "Ticket - Platinum Pass Annual Pass"

Posted: Monday August 30, 2021 9:34am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

As part of the announcement of Walt Disney World's four new annual pass types, there is some news for existing Walt Disney World Passholders.

Beginning September 8 2021, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Platinum Plus Annual Passholders will be able to hold more Disney Park Pass reservations at a time.

  • Platinum Plus, Platinum and Gold Annual Passes: Up to 5 reservations held at a time
  • Silver: Up to 4 reservations held at a time.

Since being introduced with the reopening of the parks from the pandemic shutdown, Disney has capped Annual Passholders to 3 Disney Park Pass reservations at any time.

Despite the new Annual Pass line-up announced today, current Passholders may continue to use existing Annual Passes as you do today – when it is time for you to renew, you will be able to renew into one of the new passes (at a special renewal price.)

Not a defense on the current reservation system however it should be no need that staying at a Disney Resort does not guarantee You admission into the parks any more. The date-based ticket holder isn't getting admission because they are staying at a resort, they're getting admission because they bought date-based tickets with their Resort stay.

The reservation system is my favorite thing about visiting Walt Disney World. Getting to go online and click through all sorts of fun screens and make a reservation to visit Animal Kingdom is as fun, if not more fun, than some of my favorite rides. Plus, it ensures I'll be able to get in and see my favorite attraction, the Zootopia show, without having to worry about Animal Kingdom hitting capacity. Good to Go days are great and all, but I think it's kinda risky to not have a reservation. Plus, another favorite part is that even after five years, you still get to go from the app to the website to make the reservation! April Fools!

I doubt you’ll find anyone here who thinks they’re necessary.

Non DVC member Incredipass holder here. Please explain to me why I have to make a park reservation when staying at a disney resort using my annual pass. I am on property at a disney hotel same as a date based ticket holder; so why the discrepancy in park ressie requirements between us?

Mr D'Amaro - DO AWAY WITH PARK PASS RESERVATIONS! I know it will never happen. Josh does not have the guts to do that ;)

It seems President's Day comes earlier and earlier each year.

EPCOT and DAK are both at capacity for annual passholders today

As anyone without a pass streams through to get to perhaps 50% capacity… They’re a silly stunt at this point What they really should limit is vloggers…they are not of any use to the park experience Have those passes on a pitch count 🤪

Holiday weekends can sometimes have MK or DHS 'sell out' of reservations, as well as big events like the opening of a new ride.

Fido ChuckwagonJan 11, 2026

They’re useless if you’re a local as well because “Good to go” days were never going to sell out in the first place. The only days that ever sell out for any park reservations anymore are Christmas/thanksgiving.
