Annual Passholders
While Disney Resort Guests and Theme Park Ticket Guests have historically mirrored each other’s Park Pass Reservation availability, Annual Passholders typically have an entirely different availability calendar. This pattern holds true for the week of December 20th. On Sunday, December 20th, and Monday, December 21st, Annual Passholders can currently make reservations at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
On December 22nd, 23rd, 24th, and 26th, Annual Passholders can make a Park Pass Reservation at any of the four theme parks.
Finally, on Friday, December 25th, Annual Passholders can currently book a Park Pass Reservation at EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
So while there are some parks starting to fill up on Christmas Day, each Guest type still has three theme parks as of this writing with available Park Pass Reservations that day! Be sure to make your reservations FAST before they run out!
