Disney World Quietly Expands Guest Perks for May

If you’re an Annual Passholder at Walt Disney World, you’re going to want to mark a few days on your calendar. Disney just rolled out more “Good to Go” days, making it easier than ever to enjoy the parks without the hassle of booking a reservation. And let’s be real—who doesn’t love a little extra freedom?

As most Passholders know, even with all the awesome perks like exclusive merchandise, dining discounts, and early access to special events, there’s usually still the extra step of making park reservations. But that’s not the case when it comes to “Good to Go” days. These special dates allow Passholders to head straight into the parks without any advance booking.

The new batch of days includes the very end of April and the kickoff of May. Specifically, if you’re planning to visit on April 29, April 30, or May 1, you’re all set! On those days, Passholders can enter Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom without needing a reservation.

For those unfamiliar, “Good to Go” days aren’t scheduled months in advance. They get sprinkled into the calendar as Disney sees fit—sometimes announced weeks ahead, other times added just a few days out. Once a date is officially tagged as “Good to Go,” it stays that way.

Now, it’s important to remember that while “Good to Go” days give you a lot of flexibility, there are still a few small limitations elsewhere. If it’s a weekday before 2 PM, reservations are normally still required unless it’s one of these blessed “Good to Go” dates. And if you’re visiting Magic Kingdom on a weekend? Reservation still needed.

Disney has been steadily adding these days to the calendar, giving Passholders more chances to enjoy the parks on a whim. With even more perks on the horizon, like 40% off select dining experiences during upcoming V.I.Passholder Days, it’s definitely shaping up to be a great time to be a Passholder.

So, are you thinking about heading to the parks on one of these “Good to Go” days? It might just be the perfect chance to squeeze in an extra visit without all the planning stress.
