Walt Disney World unveils how 'Good-To-Go Days' will work without park reservations

Dec 18, 2023 in "Ticket Annual Pass - Disney Incredi-Pass"

Posted: Monday December 18, 2023 3:30pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney has shared new details on how the new "Good-To-Go Days" will work for Walt Disney World Annual passholders.

On good-to-go days, Annual Passholders may enter the theme parks without needing a reservation (blockout dates will continue to apply like they do today).
The theme park reservation calendar, Annual Passholder admissions calendar and My Disney Experience app will show days that are good-to-go. The first good-to-go days will be added to the calendars starting Jan. 11, 2024.
Good-to-go days will be added periodically and may be released days or weeks in advance.

With the return of all-day Park Hopper access, Passholders can enter another Walt Disney World theme park any time during park hours.

The new Good-To-Go Days dates will be available January 11, 2024

Annual Passholders may also continue to visit without a park reservation after 2 p.m. unless visiting Magic Kingdom Park on a Saturday or Sunday (blockout dates continue to apply).

To use the Park Hopper benefit, Annual Passholders must make a theme park reservation for the first park they plan to visit AND enter that first park prior to visiting another. Or, they can enter a theme park without a reservation on a "good-to-go" day for that park or after 2 p.m. (except Magic Kingdom on Saturdays and Sundays) before visiting another park

Given APs get in after 2pm without a reservation (sans MK on weekends), plus multi-day tickets do not require a reservation, the data becomes far less valuable in terms of staffing. Although, it was certainly very helpful in that regard when every ticket required a reservation.

I can tell you that today for a F&G Sunday, the numbers aren't busy. There are lines for the booze booths, but it's pretty quiet.

They want reservations so they can staff the lowest minimum dose of CMs for that day.

That’s the theory behind it…but it’s irrelevant There just isn’t enough foot traffic where these theatrics make sense… You of all people know this…as my fellow “watcher” with a memory and depth perception

A system in place so locals with APs do not crowd out higher margin visitors. Then when the reservation and date based ticket algorithm says they’re going to come up short and they need locals it becomes a good to go day. It’s another level of inconvenience in an already over complicated experience that serves as a demotivator for visiting. Most hospitality businesses want to make the experience easier and less stressful. Instead, you have a Park pass system, the adds unnecessary steps, has confusing, hopping rules, only applies on certain dates, and is completely not needed for its intended purpose of capacity

I went to AK this past Sunday. Literally twenty minutes out, I realized I never did make a reservation. Pulled over, reserved. Done. The system is a joke

For the amount they have spent on technology there are some crazy limitations on what is possible.

I will fully concede to this particular point. Creating false demand numbers has become an art form within the company.

It’s a sham…there are absolutely ZERO days a year even close to “capacity”… It’s that they always wanted reservations…used covid as an excuse…and now don’t want to give up the illusion it’s that in demand

You also can’t even do it on the app. You have to log in again from the website. Stupid

Yet…it’s still stupid and looks low rent

I don't get worked out about it. To me, it's annoying.

I know ahead of time what park I’m going to. But sometimes I forget to make a reservation or forget to change my reservation when my kids or I decide to switch things up. So then we wind up holding up the line while the plaid people get us straightened out. It’s just stupid and unnecessary.
