Disney Park Pass System Booking Changes

Walt Disney World has updated its Park Pass system protocols. Now, if your plans change and your ticket is no longer valid for the date of your scheduled Park Pass, Disney will automatically cancel the reservation. This is in effort to maximize availability during, what is expected to be, a busy summer in the parks.
