You can see that October 1st and 2nd were already starting to fill up at select parks.
As for Annual Passholders, Park Passes were previously entirely full for October 1st and other dates were filling up.

When we checked on July 21st, Annual Passholders had full availability for October 1st and the rest of the month of October.
UPDATE: Things have changed again. As of when we checked on July 22nd, Park Pass reservations are full for Annual Passholders for Magic Kingdom and EPCOT on October 1st.

Of course, this is all subject to change again, so if you haven’t already gotten those Park Pass reservations for the 50th Anniversary, be sure to do so as soon as possible! And check back with us for more updates!
