Summer is one of the most popular times to go to Disney World!
With school out and the sun shining (usually), people from all over the world flock to Disney World for vacation between May and August. This means that summers can get pretty busy in the parks so you’ll need to be sure that you’re planning ahead — especially with all the new(ish) Disney Park policies in place! And, to help you plan, we’re taking a look at ALL the Park Pass Reservation availability for summer 2022!
As a quick refresher, Disney is currently requiring that all guests have both a valid ticket and a Park Pass Reservation for the day that they plan to visit the parks. This park pass is an extra planning step and availability can (and often does) book up!
If you’ll be park hopping, you’ll only need to book a pass for the first park that you plan to visit, and (as long as you’ve scanned into that first park), you’ll be able to hop to any other park after 2PM as long as that park hasn’t reached capacity.
So, now that we’ve covered the basics — let’s take a look at the Park Pass Reservations for Summer 2022!
June 2022
June may have just begun but we can already see some trends for crowds this summer.
Theme Park Ticket Reservation Availability
When it comes to theme park ticket reservation availability, June is quickly filling up. The majority of the month has limited availability for Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom.
Select Resort Hotels Reservation Availability
The availability is about the same for Select Resort Hotel Guests with some weekend dates available and several parks already sold out on the weekdays.
Let’s take a look at July!
July 2022
As of right now, July is wide open when it comes to park pass availability! So, if you’re planning a trip for this month, we recommend booking sooner than later.
Theme Park Ticket Reservation Availability
You can book any park on any date of the month EXCEPT for July 4th, which is currently sold out for Magic Kingdom.
Select Resort Hotels Reservation Availability
The same goes for hotel guests! July 4th is sold out for Magic Kingdom, but the weekend prior to the 4th of July has all four parks available right now. This likely won’t last!
If previous years are any indicator, we’ll likely be seeing these dates fill up soon.
August 2022
Theme Park Ticket Reservation Availability
August has full availability for theme park ticket holders…
Select Resort Hotels Reservation Availability
…and Disney World hotel guests!
Annual Pass Availability
Disney World Annual Passholders have a different set of availability for Park Pass Reservations — let’s take a look at how the summer is shaping up!
Incredi Pass Reservation Availability
The Incredi Pass is the only Disney World Annual Pass without blockout dates and currently, all parks have availability for these passholders for many days this summer. But some dates are already filling up (at least at some of the parks), including June 4th through June 7th and July 4th.
Sorcerer Pass Reservation Availability
Sorcerer Pass holders also have no blockout dates for the summer months (though select dates are blocked out around holidays throughout 2022). And, much like Incredi Pass holders, most of the summer has full park pass reservation availability right now, with June 4th through the 7th being sold out at some parks, and July 4th filling up too.
Pirate Pass Reservation Availability
Pirate Pass Holders are blocked out in the beginning of July for 4th of July Weekend from July 1st through the 4th. If you have a Pirate Pass, you won’t be able to make a reservation on those dates, but otherwise, only June 4th to the 7th are showing limited availability.
Pixie Dust Pass Reservation Availability
Those with the Pixie Dust Pass are only able to visit Disney Parks during the week, with the only additional blockout date this summer being July 4th. As for park pass reservation availability, all other weekdays are open with June 6th and 7th showing limited availability.
So, if you already know that you’ll be headed to Disney World this summer, get those reservations quick before they’re gone! And, stay tuned to AllEars for more of the latest Disney news and updates!

What happens if we have park hopper option and choose a dinner reservation at the second park, but the park becomes full before 2?
Hi Alicia! Unfortunately, if the park where you have your dinner reservation becomes full and it’s not the park you have a pass for that day, you’re not guaranteed to be allowed in. The safe bet would be to make sure that’s where you make your park pass for that day.
