Walt Disney World Introduces Good-to-Go Days

Walt Disney World has announced the introduction of Good-to-Go Days for annual passholders. These are designated days where passholders will not need to make park reservations to visit Disney World.

The first list of Good-to-Go Days will be released on January 11, and passholders can check the dates on the My Disney Experience app, the online theme park reservation calendar, and the annual passholder admissions calendar.

On Good-to-Go Days, all four Disney World theme parks will be available for passholders to visit. However, block-out dates will still apply.

Park Hopping Changes for Annual Passholders

Starting on January 9, annual passholders at Disney World will have the ability to park hop all day instead of being restricted to park hopping after 2 p.m.

However, passholders must still enter the park they have a reservation for before they are able to park hop to another park.

Passholders will be able to visit any of the four Disney World theme parks after 2 p.m., except for Magic Kingdom on Saturdays and Sundays.

Other Changes for Disney World Guests

In addition to the changes for annual passholders, Disney World is also making adjustments for guests staying in Disney hotels. Starting on January 9, holders of date-specific tickets will no longer need to make park reservations, and the optional Disney Dining Plan will be available again.

The Disney Dining Plan is an add-on for visitors who purchase Walt Disney World vacation packages. It includes prepaid meals and snacks at the parks and resorts.

These changes reflect Disney's ongoing efforts to adapt its operations and policies in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
