Introduced with the reopening of Walt Disney World theme parks in July, the Disney Park Pass reservation system requires guests to book a specific park per day ahead of their trip, based on availability—which varies depending on whether you’re a ticket holder, Annual Passholder, or Disney Resort hotel guests. Previously, the Disney Park Pass availability calendar extended through September 2021. With Fall 2021 resort and vacation bookings now open, it seems Disney has updated the calendar to cover that period of time.
The Disney Park Pass calendar now extends through January 14, 2022, possibly hinting that the theme park reservation system is here to stay for quite some time. With reservations now open and guests from across the world looking to join in on the 50th anniversary celebration at Walt Disney World next October, we expect to see that month book up very quickly, particularly at the Magic Kingdom. A valid Annual Pass or theme park ticket is required to make a Disney Park Pass reservation. As a reminder, Annual Passholders are limited to three rolling Park Pass reservations at a time, in addition to any acquired via a Disney Resort hotel stay.

What does this mean for park hopping?
Hopping is only allowed by Universal Studios because they released the movie Hop in 2011.
In all seriousness, I doubt we’ll see it return by Easter at WDW.
There is none?
This is beyond stupid. Disney is inconveniencing the guest by burdening them with this asinine reservation system. Yeah sure, it let’s Disney know how to staff the parks, but it comes at a great cost ot the guest. And NO HOPPING… That kills going over to Epcot at night for dinner. People aren’t going to stay around long enough at Hollywood Studios/Animal Kingdom to eat dinner there and since they can’t get into Epcot they’ll just spend less somewhere else.
It’s like the village idiot is running the asylum.
I hope the vaccine will become available sooner, because I’m NOT going to WDW with that stupid park pass system. We can all agree that the park pass system is nothing but a pain in our butts.

Even with a vaccine it’s probably going to take at least a year for everyone to be vaccinated especially since 2 vaccinations will be required per person.
And by 2 vaccinations I mean everyone will need to have 2 doses, I think 2 months apart
