Passholder Perks Return in 2025, But Reservation Limits Remain

Walt Disney World has unveiled the first set of “Good-to-Go” days for Annual Passholders in 2025, offering even more flexibility for spontaneous park visits. For those unfamiliar, “Good-to-Go” days are reservation-free days that allow Passholders to visit any park without making a prior reservation.

The first dates to circle on your calendar are January 7, 8, 13, 14, and 15. These days are available across all four parks—Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom—regardless of which Passholder tier you have. To find these dates, you can check the Disney reservation calendar, where they’re marked with a green circle. Alternatively, you can browse the list by selecting “View All ‘Reservation Not Required’ Dates.”

Even when reservation-free days aren’t available, Passholders still have the perk of entering any park after 2 p.m. without a reservation. However, there’s one important exception: reservations are required for Magic Kingdom on Saturdays and Sundays due to its popularity.

Why Annual Passholders Love “Good-to-Go” Days

For many Passholders, these designated days are more than just convenient—they’re a game-changer. Being able to skip the reservation process makes those spur-of-the-moment Disney trips feel even more magical. Whether you want to grab a quick bite at EPCOT’s World Showcase or enjoy a scenic walk through Animal Kingdom, “Good-to-Go” days make it easy to enjoy the parks with minimal planning.

Beyond the reservation benefits, Disney’s Annual Pass program offers a variety of perks that make it an attractive option for frequent visitors. Passholders receive discounts on food, merchandise, and special experiences. There are also Passholder-exclusive souvenirs, including a highly anticipated collectible magnet featuring The Princess and the Frog, set to be released soon.

What It Means to Be a Disney Passholder

An Annual Pass isn’t just a ticket—it’s a gateway to exclusive experiences and benefits. Passholders often take advantage of slower park days to explore at their own pace, enjoy the latest seasonal events, and capture iconic photo ops without the hustle of peak-season crowds. Whether it’s catching a cavalcade at Magic Kingdom or trying limited-time treats at the EPCOT festivals, there’s always something special to experience.

Additionally, Passholders enjoy access to exclusive merchandise, early purchase opportunities, and invitations to special previews for new attractions. This year’s perks promise to make each visit feel even more rewarding.

With “Good-to-Go” days returning in early 2025, it’s clear Disney is continuing to make improvements for its most loyal fans. If you’re not already a Passholder, these perks might make you consider joining the magic. And for current Passholders, it’s time to start planning your next unforgettable Disney adventure!

Stay tuned for updates as more reservation-free dates are revealed throughout the year.
