Park Pass Availability Goes Way Up as Disney World Increases Park Capacity

While we have yet to hear updates from Disney World regarding their face mask policies, we’re starting to see the first tangible signs that park capacity at Disney World is on the rise at this very moment!

One of the indicators that show how much “room” Disney World has at a particular park is by looking at their Park Pass Reservation availability calendar. As recently as this morning, Park Pass availability for next week and beyond was looking pretty slim.

…and here’s what availability looks like as of this writing! As you can see, availability has been added for every single date in the month of May from the 17th onward. Several of these dates were completely filled across all four theme parks! The Park Pass Reservation calendar is currently identical for guests with Theme Park Tickets.
