Disney World Just Made It Easier for Passholders to Visit in 2026

Walt Disney World has quietly added two more dates to its growing list of “Good to Go Days,” and for Annual Passholders, this is the kind of update that can instantly change how a February trip looks.

Disney has now confirmed that February 10 and February 11, 2026 are officially Good to Go Days. That means Passholders can enter a theme park without needing to book a theme park reservation ahead of time, as long as their pass isn’t blocked out and the park hasn’t reached capacity.

On paper, it’s just two dates.

But in reality, this is another small sign that Disney is still experimenting with how much flexibility it wants to give Annual Passholders moving forward.

Because the reservation system has been one of the most controversial changes Disney has made in years. Even longtime Passholders who used to casually visit after work or show up on a whim have had to plan ahead like they’re booking a major vacation. That’s why Good to Go Days continue to get so much attention every time Disney adds more.

They’re rare. They’re limited. And they’re one of the few things that makes Passholders feel like the old Disney experience hasn’t completely disappeared.

What Good to Go Days Actually Mean

Good to Go Days are select dates where Disney allows Annual Passholders to enter a theme park without holding a park reservation. It’s essentially Disney’s way of giving Passholders a little more freedom without fully removing the reservation system.

However, Disney makes it clear that the perk comes with restrictions. Passholders are still subject to blockout dates, and entry is still limited by capacity. So even though reservations aren’t required, Disney still has the power to limit how many people can enter.

Still, for most Passholders, not needing to book a reservation feels like a major win.

What Happens If You Already Had a Reservation?

If a Passholder already booked a theme park reservation for a day that later becomes a Good to Go Day, Disney will automatically remove that reservation. It will still appear in the My Plans section of My Disney Experience, but it won’t count against the maximum number of reservations the guest is allowed to hold.

That detail matters because Disney still limits how many reservations Passholders can have at one time. So having one “freed up” can actually help guests plan additional trips without getting stuck.

The 2026 List Keeps Growing

So far, Disney has been releasing Good to Go Days slowly throughout early 2026. January included several clusters of dates, and February started with February 2, 3, and 4. Now, February 10 and 11 have been added, expanding the available days even more.

Disney has also hinted that more dates may be released later, which is exactly what keeps Passholders checking the calendar like it’s a breaking news feed.

Another Way to Visit Without Reservations

Disney has also reminded guests that there is another reservation-free option available. Passholders can enter the theme parks after 2:00 p.m. without needing a reservation, except for Magic Kingdom, where that exemption does not apply on Saturdays and Sundays.

For locals, that 2:00 p.m. rule can be just as useful as a Good to Go Day, especially if the goal is just to grab dinner, catch a nighttime show, or ride a couple attractions.

Why This Matters Going Into 2026

Even though this update only adds two dates, it’s still part of a much larger story.

Disney is clearly trying to find a middle ground between keeping crowd control tools in place while also making the Annual Passholder experience feel worthwhile again. If Good to Go Days continue expanding, Passholders may eventually see more freedom return.

But for now, Disney is rolling this out carefully, one small batch at a time.

And if you’re a Passholder who wants the easiest possible park day, February 10 and 11 just became two of the most valuable dates on the calendar.
