Disney World Updated Park Pass Reservations. Here's a Helpful Tip!

You may notice that May and June Park Pass reservations for Walt Disney World just opened up slightly. This is due to a new policy Disney has implemented to help make theme park availability accessible to more people.

Walt Disney World Park Reservations

Has Disney increased park capacity? Not yet, though I think that’s coming soon.

Disney is now sweeping the system of cancelled package reservations.

If you had made a Walt Disney World vacation package and then later cancelled it, your theme park reservations remained in the system unless you manually went in and removed them.

Disney’s reservation system wasn’t yet smart enough to automatically cancel the park reservations along with the package cancellation.

Defunct park reservations were clogging up the system and making the parks appear to be sold out when they actually had availability.

Starting today, Disney will sweep the Park Pass system of all theme park reservations that are attached to cancelled package reservations.

Of course, if you hold tickets without a hotel reservation or have an annual pass, your park reservation will not be cancelled. The sweep only looks for park reservations that are attached to cancelled packages.

If you modify your package dates, Disney will give you 48 hours to change your Park Pass reservations to your new dates. After 24 hours, your park passes will automatically go back into inventory starting at midnight.

Disney World Park Reservation Tip

So we know that midnight is when Disney performs the sweep. If you need a park reservation and can’t get one, check early in the morning to see if any availability has been placed back into inventory. This would be your best chance of finding what you need.
