Walt Disney World Annual Passholders encountered limited park-reservation availability on September 26, when reservations reached capacity at EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios before Magic Kingdom followed. Disney’s Animal Kingdom was the only park still showing Passholder reservations available, according to Disney Fanatic.
The availability crunch underscored that theme park reservations remain part of the Annual Pass program, despite rules that allow more flexibility on many dates. Disney has not announced an end date for the Passholder reservation requirement.
Passholders can enter any of the four Walt Disney World parks without a reservation after 2 p.m., with one exception: Magic Kingdom still requires a reservation on Saturdays and Sundays. On designated “good-to-go” days, Passholders do not need a park reservation at all.

Undercover Tourist is an authorized seller of Walt Disney World tickets, often at a discount off gate price.
Passholders who make and use a reservation for their first park may also park hop before 2 p.m. The September 26 capacity limits show that reservations can still be required when demand rises, including during EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival.
