They could start out the year having the military community continue to make reservations and do away with the requirement as they see how things go, or more likely require the military community to make theme park reservations only during the higher to highest attendance periods.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Introducing_%E2%80%98good-to-go_days_for_Annual_Passholders\"><\/span>Introducing \u2018good-to-go days\u2019 for Annual Passholders<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23885\" src=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EPCOT-Entrance-Tickets.jpg\" alt=\"EPCOT's Ticket Boots and Entrance\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EPCOT-Entrance-Tickets.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EPCOT-Entrance-Tickets-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EPCOT-Entrance-Tickets-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EPCOT-Entrance-Tickets-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In 2024, we plan to offer select days on which our Annual Passholders may visit Walt Disney World theme parks without needing a park reservation.
