More bonus park reservations added for Walt Disney World Annual Passholders

Posted: Tuesday October 10, 2023 4:40pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney has made additional Annual Passholder bonus park pass reservations available at the Walt Disney World theme parks in mid-October 2023

Bonus park reservations are available October 12 and 15 at Disney's Animal Kingdom

Here are the latest dates, which come in addition to the previously announced bonus dates in early October.

October 11, 14 - Disney's Hollywood Studios
October 12, 15 - Disney's Animal Kingdom
October 17 - Magic Kingdom

Bonus reservations do not count towards your allotted number of reservations, which is very useful if you have a trip planned later in the year that is tying up your park pass allocation.

They should make everything good to go days except the days that will get close to capacity. Those are the days I don't want to go anyway so it would be good to know it will be very crowded.

And again, on holidays, the parks do hit their limit of reservations. That's why the reservation system is in place. To stop overcrowding. That honoring Vets fall on Veterans Day; and Veterans Day is a holiday which 'sells out' on reservations... that these two things you're seeing some sort of bad-press connections is a result of both being connected to Veterans day. The ticket for Veterans to celebrate the 250th Anniversary is good for all of 2026. I'm sure they'll be a day or two in 2026 in which reservations aren't 'sold out.' Are we to be outraged that things associated with Veterans Day all happen on Veterans Day?

They announced it on Veterans Day because it’s a military benefit. And the parks are busy on holidays.

Somebody didn’t have their sardines this morning. I’m just observing that on the day in which they announce a discounted annual pass, two of the four parks are not available. You know because of “capacity”.

Maxing out on reservations, even for APs, normally happens on holidays. What's the conspiracy you're hinting at?

It’s very silly - on my last visit I forgot to make the reservation one day on the bus ride over and went to tap in and I had to stop, get my phone out, make my reservation, and then tap in again. Why? It’s so silly. If reservations are available you should be able to tap in and it automatically allows you in.

I truly don't understand what the point of still having the reservation system in place is. Since you can park hop after tapping in what is it accomplishing? Especially with the no reservations needed after 2. Is it just that they spent money on the coding so they need to find a use for the software?

i mean Epcot “at capacity” is ridiculous, we all know that - but 2 parks filling up for reservations the morning of isn’t that news worthy. Could still get in after 2 or start the day at dhs or DAK. Sad for those wanting to hear voices on Veterans Day but other than that…. Haha

Just so funny that the day Disney makes a special AP for members of the US military, half of their Florida parks become inaccessible to pass holders...because of "Capacity" limits.

not really…. They can just show up anyways. The parks are hardly ever at capacity. They just have to make a reservation before scanning in if it’s before 2

You mean those freeloading good-for-nothings who spend zero money (which is totally false but TDO relies on them to prop up the parks when their new target audience doesn't show up in the numbers they need or when they don't spend like the quarterlies require)?
