Walt Disney World Cast Members are having trouble booking Park Passes to any of the four main theme parks this spring.
Cast Members, like Annual Passholders, have blockout dates depending on their type of complimentary ticket (though the tickets are mostly the same). According to the calendar for the final two days of March, all of April, and all of May, Cast Members are blocked out of some or all parks almost every day. Yellow indicates only some parks are available, red means no parks are available, and blue means all parks are available. Only Tuesday, May 10 is blue.
Twitter user @Monse_DP — who is not a Cast Member but knows Cast Members personally — shared screenshots of the internal Park Pass reservation calendar for Cast Members. In April and May, there is not a single day where Park Passes are still available for all four parks, and only ten days where Park Passes are available at some parks. Most days are full and greyed out on the calendar.
Monse writes, “How can Disney even claim that ‘park access’ is an employee perk when this is their blocked out calendar?! Keep in mind that even on non block days it is [all] dependent on them getting a reservation, so basically a Hunger Games situation for them.”
The Park Pass calendar is currently available into 2024 and the system is not going away according to executives.
How do you feel about the Park Pass reservation system? Let us know in the comments.
