Walt Disney World Resort is set to shine in 2024! Throughout the year, we've been providing updates to simplify vacation planning, and today we're sharing some tips to enhance your visit.

Good-To-Go Days Calendar Coming Jan. 11:
In 2024, Annual Passholders can embrace spontaneity with "good-to-go" days! Here's how it works:
- On good-to-go days, Annual Passholders can enter theme parks without reservations (blockout dates still apply).
- The theme park reservation calendar, Annual Passholder admissions calendar, and My Disney Experience app will display good-to-go days, starting Jan. 11, 2024.
- Additional good-to-go days will be periodically added, sometimes days or weeks in advance.
- With the return of all-day Park Hopper access, Passholders can visit another park during operating hours.* After 2 p.m., they can enter without a reservation (except for Magic Kingdom Park on Saturdays and Sundays, with blockout dates still in effect).

And beginning Jan. 9...

All-Day Park Hopper Access is Coming Back:
Guests with Park Hopper benefits or an Annual Pass can visit another theme park ANY TIME OF DAY during operating hours (subject to capacity limits).* Enjoy sunrise over Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park and lunch around the world at EPCOT.

Theme Park Reservation Updates:
Date-based ticket purchasers no longer need to make theme park reservations!

Dining Plans Return:
Pre-pay for meals and snacks with peace of mind as Disney Resort hotel guests can once again purchase vacation packages with dining plans. Choose from the Disney Quick Service Dining Plan or the Disney Dining Plan.

What's New with Dining Plans:
- Dining reservations are open for Disney Resort hotel guests with vacation packages and dining plans for arrivals in January through early February.
- Guests can book dining up to 60 days in advance, covering their entire stay (up to 10 days).
- Check availability easily to see all available reservations for your chosen location and date!

Additional Dining Plan Tips:
- Redeem meals and snacks at any time during your stay.
- Track remaining meals and snacks in the My Disney Experience app. Utilize the mobile order service for quick and nearby dining options!

With the return of favorites and exciting additions like good-to-go days, there's much to anticipate in the New Year.

*To use the Park Hopper benefit, Annual Passholders must make a theme park reservation for the first park they plan to visit AND enter that first park prior to visiting another. Or, they can enter a theme park without a reservation on a “good-to-go” day for that park or after 2 p.m. (except Magic Kingdom on Saturdays and Sundays) before visiting another park. Passes are subject to the Walt Disney World Resort Annual Pass Terms and Conditions.
