Disney is introducing new updates to its Park Pass reservation system today, which aims to remove some of the challenges guests encounter using the system.

Here is a run-down of the main changes to Walt Disney World's Park Pass system at Walt Disney World that are effective August 23 2022.

1. Guests with an existing Disney Park Pass reservation can now modify the date and Park without canceling and making a new reservation.

2. Guests can now book Park Pass reservations for up to 30 guests, previously limited to 12.

3. Park Pass reservations are now associated with a ticket, not a guest. This change means a guest can have a Park Pass reservation for different tickets they may hold, such as a single-day ticket and an annual pass. Previously, this required multiple profiles within a single My Disney Experience account, leading to a complicated error-prone setup.

4. All guests, regardless of ticket type, now use the same Park Pass reservation system. Previously, multiple systems were being used, producing an inconsistent experience.

5. Finally, guests can choose any email address to send the Park Pass confirmation details to, and it is not limited to the email address associated with the My Disney Experience account.

The Disney Park Pass reservation system was introduced as the parks reopened from the COVID-19 shutdown as a way to limit attendance due to capacity restrictions.

Originally thought to be a temporary measure during the reopening from the pandemic shutdown, the Park Pass reservation system is now permanent. Disney CEO Bob Chapek frequently mentions the Park Pass system as being of enormous benefit to the company by allowing tight control of operational costs and managing attendance.

    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.
