Theme Park Reservation Woes: Walt Disney World Passholders hit with three-day dry spell

Posted: Thursday January 4, 2024 8:52am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Walt Disney World Annual Passholders are facing a rough start to 2024 with three consecutive days of no available theme park reservations at any of the parks.

According to the official Walt Disney World reservations calendar, all four parks are at capacity for Annual Passholders from January 5 through January 7, 2024. In addition, Magic Kingdom is fully booked for passholders on January 4.

All four Walt Disney World theme parks are unavailable to Annual Passholders from January 5 - 7, 2024

Currently, Disney is continuing to offer day tickets on these days, and the period remains available to guests staying at Walt Disney World hotels.

Note that on days when reservations are at capacity, Annual Passholders may still visit the theme parks after 2:00 pm without a theme park reservation, except on Saturdays and Sundays at Magic Kingdom. You should also keep watching the park pass reservation calendar as more capacity may be added.

This weekend's lack of theme park reservations is due to the runDisney Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend. The event brings in many Walt Disney World regulars, who are also typically Annual Passholders.

The Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend will be held January 3 - 7, 2024

Disney plans to introduce new "Good-To-Go Days" for Walt Disney World Annual Passholders starting January 11, where Annual Passholders may enter the theme parks without needing a reservation. However, it would seem likely that even with the new system in place, busy periods like this weekend would not be included, and reservations would still be required.

Very appropriate considering that good-to-go days are the best joke in the tourism industry.

WDW still calls this a perk?

Thank you! I've only done LLMP 1 other trip for just 2 days and just did them for where we were reserved for. I'm not sure I clicked on different parks to see if it would let me do it. I did see you can pick any 4 when I looked at it recently for this trip; but then it yelled that I was too early etc, so I wasn't sure if I'd get to that point and then it be like "oops sorry can't do it for here"

Even without good to go days, a reservation for any park allows you to buy LLMP for any of the 4 and select return times at any time, it doesn’t have to be at your reserved park since you can hop any time after scanning into your reserved park.

Yes the system ignores existing reservations on Good to Go Days. Eg. On a Good to Go Day, you can have a reservation for MK, and enter DAK first, without issue.
