Since the start of this global pandemic, many things in our everyday lives have changed. Social distancing, face coverings and contactless payments are becoming the norm, so it only makes sense that vacation destinations since as Disney World and Disneyland would roll out policy changes as well. When the parks open later this July, one of the biggest changes will be the introduction of a new Disney Park Pass Reservation system, but it's also seems to be the change causing the most confusion so let's break it down.
A Disney Park Ticket is your purchase of entry into a Disney theme park, while your Disney Park Pass Reservation is your RSVP, letting Disney know which of their 4 Orlando or 2 Anaheim parks that your family plans to visit on each day of your vacation. Think of it like attending a semester of college. Your Park Ticket is your tuition, your payment to attend that college. While your Park Pass is registering for your classes, letting the college know which ones you want to take. This means that to enter a Disney park for the rest of 2020 and into 2021, you will need BOTH a park ticket and a park pass.
Just like college classes, the Disney theme parks are going to have a set capacity limit each day and reserving a Park Pass saves your place in that park. But it also means that Park Passes are limited and you will want to reserve them early to have the best chance at snagging the park schedule you want. And much like your class schedule, you can not double book your time, which in the case of Disney means that you may only reserve ONE park per day. So when you or your travel agent purchase your tickets, you will want to immediately connect them to your My Disney Experience account so that you can reserve your Park Passes right away. This does mean you will need to do a bit more planning at the start of your booking so that you know which park you are looking to visit each day, but please note that you will also have the ability later on to modify your Park Pass and reserve a different park as long as that new park choice is still available.
To summarize, Park Tickets and Park Passes are not the same thing but you will need both to enjoy the magic of your favorite Disney theme park. So when your family is ready to travel again, I hope you will reach out to me so I can help you navigate this new Disney planning process.
