Not sure if there is a better place to post this.
For the first time since they were introduced, there are no good to go days in the calendar for AP holders.

Booooo! These are so silly. It’s another way to have black out days. I mean I guess SOME AP’s get reservations… But really, silly.
March 5th & 6th added!
These are being released so close to the dates that they’re no use to anyone trying to plan their trip.
Yup. You just have to make ressies and if they turn good to go then…
I think they are meant to control the locals.
I think that ship has sailed!
Slightly off topic, but they seriously need a flowchart to figure out when an AP holder can go to the parks. This is so complicated. You can go on a Good-to-Go day OR (these entire two paragraphs of caveats):
Annual Passholders may also continue to visit without a park reservation after 2 pm. unless visiting Magic Kingdom Park on a Saturday or Sunday (blockout dates continue to apply).
To use the Park Hopper benefit, Annual Passholders must make a theme park reservation for the first park they plan to visit AND enter that first park prior to visiting another. Or, they can enter a theme park without a reservation on a “good-to-go” day for that park or after 2 pm. (except Magic Kingdom on Saturdays and Sundays) before visiting another park.
And if I understand it correctly, you can still go to MK Saturday or Sunday (even after 2pm without a reservation) but only if you’ve been to another park first? Right @ThorKat?
Correct.
I normally just decide what park we are going to and attempt to make a reservation. If it tells me I don’t need one then we just go.
Follow up. So Saturday I can go to MK after I’ve tapped into Epcot. Epoct is my park reservation. Time doesn’t matter?
Correct
Thanks!
Yes. So you could be staying at the Beach Club, walk through Epcot and catch the monorail to MK.
Just like the old days.
Which is great for you as a local but for us as AP holders who are staying at a resort for our week long vacation it’s more challenging
Especially since J doesn’t have her AP yet (she had a CM pass) and once she does have it it won’t be activated - so I don’t know that I’ll be able to make her any ressies… ???
I feel like you should be able to. They really haven’t been difficult to get for AP in a long time. It’s just dumb that they still insist on using them.
In January/February, I was in WDW 11 days. I was only able to make reservations for 5 days at a time with my AP. But a number of days were go to go days. I had no issues with getting park additional park reservations after each of my park reservations were used.
My upcoming trip, I will be in WDW 18 days . (Working some of the hours remotely, of course!) DH will join me on day 10. I’m crossing my fingers that there will be park reservations for me after DH arrives because I will be reserving more days as I’m using them!
Luckily a resort reservation doesn’t count towards the limited number of days.
But this is a PITA
I’m certain that I made APRs before activating my AP. Is that what you mean?
Yes I was hoping someone like you would chime in. That’s good to know!
