Theme parks filling up months in advance is a relatively new phenomenon. Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort first introduced Disney Park Pass Reservations when the Disney parks reopened from COVID-19 closures to control crowds but, they kept them around to help predict guest behavior and schedule cast members.
Pre-2020, certain guests were restricted via block-out dates but otherwise were only turned away during the busiest times of the year when the theme parks hit capacity.

As of January 2024, guests with date-based tickets don’t require reservations to enter Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Annual Passholders, Disney cast members, and other ticketholders must make reservations except on set “Good-to-Go Days.” Unsurprisingly, Star Wars Day is not one of those days.
Spending May the Fourth in Galaxy’s Edge isn’t just any old Star Wars Celebration. Each year, Disney Parks Blog announces exclusive merchandise, one-day-only treat offerings, special Disney PhotoPass Magic Shots and sets, and more.
Last year, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia even made their Disneyland Park debut, evoking emotional reactions from Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher fans.
With less than two months until Star Wars Day, some Walt Disney World Resort Annual Passholders already felt a disturbance in the Force. As of this week, no reservations remain for Annual Passholders to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios on May 4, 2024. This includes the Disney Pixie Dust Pass, Disney Pirate Pass, Disney Sorceror Pass, and Disney Incredi-Pass.

Hopefully Star Wars Jedi can check the calendar daily as reservations sometimes open up closer to the desired date. If it doesn’t work out, there’s always LEGO Star Wars builds and movie marathons at home!
According to the official Disney Parks calendar and My Disney Experience app, guests with non-dated tickets may still make reservations. Guests with date-based tickets or others that no longer require Disney Park Pass Reservations can visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios freely on that day as long as the theme park doesn’t hit capacity.
Walt Disney World Resort hasn’t announced plans for Star Wars Day 2024. Disney Park Pass Reservations are still available for Annual Passholders and other guests on other dates in May.

This is what Florida gets allowing DeSantis who’s temporarily leadership cost the state so very much. Shame on you DeSantis.
I have been going to Disney World since it opened. The problems with Disney are caused by Disney. Poor Walt must be just rolling over in his grave. Ron DeSantis has nothing to do with this. This is Disney not being Disney? They’re in it for the money, they don’t care. And I speak from experience, we used to go every year, couldn’t wait to get there and now I wouldn’t go if you gave me a free ticket! People are rude and disrespectful. The joy has been destroyed. One of the main problems is they sell alcohol. So you have drunken vacationers that are disrespectful, loud, rude, with the attitude that they are on vacation and can do anything they want! Sorry you’re not that special, you have no right, spoiling other peoples vacations.
I really hope that you get it together and put Disney back to the way it’s supposed to be! It’s supposed to be for family and friends. that wants to enjoy the MAGIC. A sign at the gate should say “everyone” is welcome, provided they respect the DISNEY name! IF NOT THEY ARE KICKED OUT PERMANENTLY!
