Disney World will officially begin the phased reopening of its theme parks on July 11th.

As Disney rolled out their new Park Pass Reservation System, guests were unable to purchase tickets and to make new hotel reservations. That is, until now!
Disney World just shared that their new Park Pass Reservation System will open to guests with existing reservations on June 22nd.
Magic Kingdom
The Park Pass System will help manage park attendance for the foreseeable future as the Disney parks reopen with limited capacity caps in place (Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom will reopen on July 11th, and Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios will reopen on July 15th). All guests will need a Park Pass reservation on top of their valid park entry to enter any Disney World theme park.
Let’s take a look at how this new system will work. Check out ALL the details and a TUTORIAL below!

Early Morning at Cinderella Castle
We know that multi-day park tickets have been extended through September 26th, 2021, and that Annual Passes for those who paid in full can be extended, and now a DIFFERENT ticket option has been extended as well.
When Disney World initially closed back in March, Disney announced that monthly payments for Annual Passholders on the payment plan would continue.

Disney later overturned this decision and announced that monthly payments would be paused until the parks reopen. However, fees from March had already been charged by the time Disney changed their decision and Passholders on the payment plan have been patiently waiting for their refunds ever since.
