Disney World has updated its Annual Passholder Disney Park Pass theme park reservation calendar to reflect the last-ever Bonus Reservation dates before a rebrand of the Park Pass system with the introduction of “Good-to-Go Days” next month.
The new Bonus Reservations include January 4 at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, January 6 at Magic Kingdom, January 7 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and January 8 at EPCOT.
Starting in January, Disney World will roll out the first “Good-to-Go Days” for Annual Passholders, where a theme park reservation is not required at any of the four Walt Disney World theme parks. The first round of Good-to-Go Days will be announced on January 11th.
As always, Peter the Pirate will continue to provide the latest news, photos, and information from around the Disney Parks.
Updated planning context for 2026 visitors
For 2026 readers, the original January 2024 reservation news is best used as background for how Disney has been easing some Annual Passholder park-reservation friction. The practical point is simple: Passholders should check eligible dates before assuming they can enter a park without a reservation.
What this means for your trip
Before making plans, open My Disney Experience, check blockout dates for your pass type, and confirm whether the park you want is available. Midweek dates are usually easier to work with than busy weekends, holidays, and school breaks.

Not always, but the answer depends on pass type, date, park, and Disney policy. Always check My Disney Experience before heading out.
