When the Disney World parks reopen later this month, guests will need to make a reservation in order to enter.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios entrance
This will be managed using the new Disney Park Pass reservation system, which allows guests to select a reservation for one theme park per day. There is a set amount of availability each day for Disney Resort guests, guests with regular theme park tickets, and Annual Passholders.
When Disney World closed, Annual Passholders on the monthly payment plan were given the option to postpone their payments until the end of the closure.

On Friday, some Annual Passholder who chose to postpone payments were unexpectedly charged for all four months of the park closures at once. Disney acknowledged that this was an error, and said they were in the process of reversing the charges.
