Disney has today announced full details on its plans to manage attendance at the Walt Disney World theme parks when they begin their phased reopening from the COVID-19 shutdown.

Notably, park hopping will not be allowed, and reservations will be taken through to September 26 2021.

Here are the full details:

Magic Kingdom park and Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park will begin a phased reopening on July 11—with Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios reopening on July 15.

To manage attendance during this reopening period, while also helping Guests plan ahead before their arrival, we are introducing the new Disney Park Pass system. During this time, all Guests with valid admission will be required to make a reservation in advance for each park entry, using this new online tool.

To enter a park, both a park reservation AND valid admission for the same park on the same date are required for each person in your party ages 3 and up (limit one park per day).

Booking Dates for Park Reservations

The Disney Park Pass system will be available soon to select Guests. Booking dates vary based on your plans.

  • Beginning June 22, 2020, Disney Resort and other select hotel Guests with valid theme park admission can make reservations.

  • Beginning June 26, 2020, Annual Passholders without a Resort stay can make reservations.

  • Beginning June 28, 2020, existing ticket holders can make reservations.

Park reservations will be available through September 26, 2021, based on your Resort stay and ticket eligibility or ticket eligibility window.

If you booked a vacation package, your ticket eligibility is tied to your package travel dates. To make a park reservation for a different date, be sure to modify your vacation package dates.

If you have a room-only reservation at a Disney Resort or other select hotel for a stay in 2021, please call the Disney Reservation Center or call your travel professional beginning on June 24 to upgrade to a vacation package with tickets—and then make your theme park reservations.

Want to Book a New Vacation?

By June 28, all Guests will be able to purchase new Disney Resort hotel packages and theme park tickets and make their park reservations for arrivals starting in 2021 as our phased reopening continues. Guests will be able to view park reservation availability online prior to purchasing their tickets.

Later this summer, we will resume sales of 2020 tickets and Disney Resort hotel arrivals, based on availability of park reservations, while we continue to provide Guests with existing tickets and Annual Passholders the opportunity to make park reservations for 2020 dates.

I was thinking an Onlyfans page where you pay per view would be more appropriate.

After spinning around three times, patting their head and jumping through an actual hoop twice. (All the restrictions they've imposed on people who lay out thousands of dollars just to get into the damn parks is ridiculous. I am honestly surprised they have anyone still willing to purchase AP's. 🤷‍♀️)

I see Disney just created an Instagram for Annual Passholders I’m expecting their first photo to be

This. There is no reservation though it being a single park ticket works out to one anyway.

i think Single day just needs to buy a date specific ticket -- so not really considered a reservation, but still under a means to get a specific head count for a specific date/guest type.

So let me get this straight: APs need reservations Single day tickets need reservations Multi-day tickets don't need reservations But Disney has "gone away from the reservations system except for APs and other special tickets"? A single-day ticket doesn't strike me as a "special ticket".

Only in years evenly divisible by 589.
