Disney World eliminates park reservation requirements and reintroduces dining plans in 2024.

Starting January 9, 2024, Walt Disney World will no longer require park reservations for most visitors and will bring back dining plans for resort hotel guests. Annual passholders and cast members will have select dates when reservations will not be required. Disney is also working on changes to Genie+ to allow guests to plan ahead of their park visit. All guests of Disney resort hotels may enter the parks 30 minutes before opening, and extended evening hours will continue to be available to guests of Deluxe resorts and villas on specific nights at select parks.
