Walt Disney World Annual Passholders will soon be able to visit the parks after 2 p.m. on afternoons without a reservation.
This does not include Magic Kingdom on Saturdays and Sundays, when a reservation will still be required.
“Beginning in the next few months, Walt Disney World Annual Passholders will be able to visit the theme parks after 2 p.m. without needing a park reservation, except on Saturdays and Sundays at Magic Kingdom Park,” states Disney. “Pass blockout dates will continue to apply like they do today. While the theme park reservation system remains important to manage attendance in our parks, especially on busier days, we realize our Passholders enjoy more spontaneous visits – and this change will make that possible. Passholders will also receive access to Disney PhotoPass lenses and one complimentary Cinderella Castle Mural of Memories experience (age restrictions apply). Visit Cinderella Castle Mural of Memories and Disney PhotoPass Lenses for details, restrictions and other information.*
We’ll share a start date with Passholders soon for when these offerings will become available, as well as information about a new offering that is planned where you can create and share short Disney-themed video slideshows with favorite photos from your theme park visits.”
Stay tuned for more details. A date has not been announced yet.

Not far enough
Great change! Mind you I wonder for annual passholders will they be able to park hop to magic kingdom from the way it’s written it almost feels like this is a replacement to park hopping….
Glorious news and I love the added benefits of the Photopass Lenses! So happy about this!
The only thing that bothers me is that when I had my gold pass is that it was affordable I now have the sorcerer pass and you pay more money I don’t like the blockout periods in November and December I will never stop being a pass holder I am a Disney junkie Have a magical day
