Walt Disney World has issued an update on Date-Based, Multi-Day Tickets, now allowing for guests to book a specific time range, even if a day or so is fully booked on the Disney Park Pass system. Given that the Disney Park Pass system is constantly updated with expanded availability, while park reservations may not be available at the time of ticket purchase, they may be available closer to the validity window (sometimes popping up even the day before or day of.) You can read the full update below:

As a reminder, guests purchasing date-based, multi-day Walt Disney World theme park tickets may select their days of admission from a specific time range (also known as their validity window). Therefore, we recently updated our ticketing systems to allow you to order multi-day theme park tickets, even in circumstances where Disney Park Pass reservations may no longer be available for select days during that guest’s validity window.

In this situation, you’d be able to make theme park reservations on days within the ticket’s validity window (based on theme park availability), although you won’t be able to make a reservation or visit a park on a day when reservations are unavailable.  

For example:

• Your pick a 3-day Walt Disney World theme park base ticket (last day of the validity window is 4 days after the selected start date)
• You select a start date of March 1, however in this example let’s assume that there are no Disney Park Pass reservations available for March 3 but Disney Park Pass reservations are available for all of the other days during the validity window.
• In this example, you’ll be unable to visit the theme parks on March 3, but may use your 3-day ticket to obtain a Disney Park Pass on three of the other four days within their validity window: 
  • March 1
  • March 2
  • March 4
  • March 5

Walt Disney World multi-day, date based tickets will remain unavailable for order in situations where there are too many days within the ticket’s validity window where Disney Park Pass reservations are unavailable, and therefore you would (as of the time of the order) be unable to make park reservations for the full amount of days available on their ticket. 

Please remember: To enter a theme park, all Guests ages 3 and older must have a park reservation in addition to valid admission for the same park on the same date.
