Park hopping for Annual Passholders

Beginning in the next few months, Passholders will be able to visit theme parks after 2 p.m. without needing a park reservation — except on Saturdays and Sundays at Magic Kingdom.

Pass blockout dates will continue to apply.

Parking for Disney World hotel guests

Beginning the evening of January 10, overnight self-parking will once again be offered complimentary to guests staying at Disney World Resort hotels.

Disney Resort hotel guests also continue to receive complimentary standard parking at Disney World theme parks.

Another Genie+ update

In the next few months, Disney World guests purchasing Disney Genie+ service will also receive digital downloads of their Disney PhotoPass attraction photos, taken in the park on the day of their purchase, at no additional charge.

An exact launch date will be announced at a later time.

Magic Key news

Disneyland Resort will make select Magic Key passes available for new sales from time to time throughout 2023 as pass inventory becomes available.
