This is a great way to get a head start on those popular rides and attractions before the park gets busier.

Most Annual Passholders also have wide-open Park Pass Reservation availability for the week of January 30th.

The situation looks the same for the Sorcerer Pass, Pirate Pass, and Pixie Dust Pass (but note that any dates that are blocked out for those passes are unavailable).

Keep in mind that Park Pass Reservation availability may not always correlate with park crowds. Despite Park Pass Reservations being in ample supply this month, it has been an unusually busy January! No matter what time of year you visit the parks, prepare for crowds and plan accordingly! We’ll be back next week with another roundup of the latest park hours and Park Pass reservation availability, so make sure to follow along ahead of your next Disney World vacation!
