Disney Annual Pass Reservations Trigger Rare Multi‑Park Sellout

Overview

• Annual Passholder reservation inventory for EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios filled first and Magic Kingdom later on Saturday, September 26, leaving only Animal Kingdom with same‑day availability.
• The reservation system remains in effect with no announced end date and Disney has not tied any pricing change to this sellout.
• Passholders retain several built‑in workarounds, including entry to most parks after 2:00 p.m. without a reservation, designated “good‑to‑go” days that waive reservations, and park‑hopping after scanning into a first reserved park.
• Reporters say short‑term factors such as cooler weather, the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, and new offerings at Hollywood Studios concentrated demand that exhausted reservation inventory that day.
• Because the reservation tool proved useful for crowd control, outlets note Disney may be more likely to adjust Annual Pass prices than to abandon reservations, and passholders should watch for occasional sellouts and mid‑day reopenings when cancellations occur.
