Disney World Limits Annual Passholder Access at Magic Kingdom After Parade Overruns Reservations

This temporary measure responds to the surge in demand created by the Disney Starlight parade’s debut.

Overview

  • Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away officially opened July 20 with twice-nightly projection-based dreamscapes led by the Blue Fairy and nods to the Main Street Electrical Parade.
  • Magic Kingdom hit its Park Pass capacity on July 20, 21 and 22, leaving many Annual Passholders without entry slots.
  • Starting July 21, Annual Passholders must secure all-day reservations to visit Magic Kingdom, including access after 2 p.m., replacing the usual afternoon-only booking window.
  • Disney says the full-day reservation rule is temporary and full post-2 p.m. access will resume once initial parade crowds subside.
  • EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom remain open to passholders without afternoon reservations.
