Annual Passholder Park Reservations Fill at 3 Disney World Parks
Published September 26, 2026 · Updated September 27, 2026
Walt Disney World reportedly ran out of Annual Passholder park reservations for Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios on Saturday, September 26, 2026. As of Saturday, September 26, those three parks were showing no remaining Annual Passholder reservation availability, according to reports.
The reported sellout applies to Annual Passholder park reservations, not standard date-based tickets. Disney has not announced a systemwide capacity closure or said that all guests are blocked from entering those parks.
The timing lines up with a heavy local-use weekend. Reports point to the final full weekend before the current Florida resident ticket deal expires on October 3, 2026, with those tickets requiring advance park reservations and subject to reservation availability.
Wait times around noon were not matching a true holiday-level crush. Overall Walt Disney World crowd levels were reported at 4/10 at that point, though several headline attractions were already posting long waits.

What’s not confirmed
Disney has not confirmed an official capacity closure for Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, or Hollywood Studios on September 26, 2026.
Disney has not said that standard date-based ticket guests need a park reservation for this date. The reported reservation issue is specific to Annual Passholders and ticket types that require park reservations.

What it means for your trip
If you are an Annual Passholder trying to visit today, check reservation availability before you head to the gate, especially for Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios. A sold-out Annual Passholder reservation bucket is a planning problem even when standby waits are not outrageous.
If you are already in the parks, do not treat the reservation sellout as a reason to panic-buy every upgrade. Watch the actual waits: the biggest pressure is likely to sit on headline rides, while secondary attractions may keep the parkwide average looking softer than the reservation calendar suggests.
The practical move is to front-load the must-dos, use Lightning Lane where it saves real time, and be ready to pivot parks or plans if availability changes. SupaPark can help here by watching live waits and alerting you when a ride drops into a better window, instead of making you refresh all afternoon.
