Are park reservations required to visit?

Walt Disney World requires theme park reservations to enter its theme parks through January 8, 2024; you're required to make advance reservations for each day of your visit, including which park you'll be starting your day with on your selected date(s). A ticket alone will not grant you admission into the parks. Beginning January 9, 2024, however, theme park reservations will no longer be required for date-based tickets. For other admission types, theme park reservations may still be required. To learn more about Walt Disney World's park reservation system, click here.
