More “Good‑to‑Go” Days Added for Late September 2025 at Disney World as Attendance Issues Persist

by

As a big Disney fan and Annual Passholder, I was thrilled to see Disney just added more “Good-to-Go” days! They’ve released dates for late September 2025 – specifically Tuesday the 23rd, Thursday the 25th, and Sunday the 28th. It definitely makes me wonder what they’re expecting for crowds and how the reservation system will work, but it’s exciting news either way!

“Good-to-Go” days allow Annual Passholders to visit the theme parks without needing to make a reservation beforehand. However, these days are still subject to existing blockout dates and the parks can still reach capacity. Disney introduced this system in January 2024 to give passholders more flexibility while still managing park operations effectively.

Possible Explanations

Offering Good-to-Go days now is a change for Disney, who typically focuses these less-crowded days at the beginning of September. This move might mean Disney expects fewer visitors later in the month and is making it easier to book visits to encourage more people to come.

Universal is experiencing a big jump in visitors thanks to the new Epic Universe park, but Disney’s attendance numbers aren’t showing any growth.

This is concerning because September usually has fewer visitors as kids return to school.

September usually signals the beginning of the slower season, particularly after Labor Day when summer discounts expire. For instance, a special ticket offer for Florida residents at Disney World for fall 2025 ends on September 27th, and many Floridians try to use their tickets before then.

Previous summer discounts ended earlier this month. When those deals disappear, parks usually see fewer visitors, so they often introduce new offers, like letting people enter without reservations.

Context of Past Additions

Disney is gradually implementing its “Good-to-Go” system, which removes reservation requirements for some park visits. As an example, in late July 2025, they added five dates – July 30th, 31st, and August 3rd, 4th, and 7th – where Annual Passholders won’t need reservations.

Disney usually reveals new offerings for special days a few days or weeks beforehand, and this announcement follows that pattern.

Conclusion

Disney World extending its ‘Good-to-Go’ days for annual passholders might be a way to keep attendance steady or give passholders more options. This fits into a larger trend we’ve been seeing for 2025.

As a Disney fan, I’ve noticed they’ve been slowly changing things with park reservations. They’re now giving passholders occasional days where we don’t need reservations, which is a really welcome change! It feels like they’re testing things out month by month, and we’re definitely happy about it.
