Walt Disney World resumes ticket sales and resort bookings

Starting today, July 9, Walt Disney World Resort will resume theme park ticket sales and Disney Resort hotel bookings for this year.

Ticket sales and hotel bookings were temporarily paused in order to bring the focus on helping existing ticket holders and Annual Passholders plan their visits with the newly-launched Disney Park Pass reservation system. But now, guests can purchase new tickets and plan their future visits throughout the rest of the year with the new reservation system.

Tickets and Disney Resort hotel bookings may be released at different times throughout the day, and virtual waiting rooms will be used as needed to manage the volume of guests seeking to book vacations.

All guests with valid admission are required to make a reservation in advance for each park entry, so be sure to check out the reservation availability calendar ahead of time before purchasing your new tickets. Keep in mind that during this phased reopening, some tickets, ticket options, and Disney Resort hotels are unavailable, but you still have a variety of options to choose from.
