Disney has today added more 'Good-to-Go Days' for Walt Disney World Annual Passholders in late April 2024, which come in addition to the now expired April 22 and 23 dates.
Three dates have been added: April 24, 28, 30.
On 'Good-to-Go Days,' Annual Passholders may enter the theme parks without needing a reservation, and this applies to all four Walt Disney World parks. You can find current 'Good-to'Go Days' on the Walt Disney World Passholder Admission Calendar.
2024 Walt Disney World Annual Passholder 'Good-to-Go Days'
Reservation-free days of admission at all four Walt Disney World theme parks:
Disney says that 'Good-to-Go Days' will be added periodically and may be released days or weeks in advance. Note that blackout days will apply according to the tier of the Annual Pass.
On 'Good-to-Go Days,' Annual Passholders may enter the theme parks without needing a reservation
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.
With the launch of 'Good-to-Go Days,' Disney is ending the previous Bonus Days, which allowed guests to make park reservations for a certain park without it counting against their reservation allocation.

It takes me just as much time and effort to log on and see it is good to go. This reservation system was one of the big differentiators in the AP tiers aside from blackout dates. We rarely even use our reservations and have 5 of 5 available. I understand everyone is different but this whole thing is lame. It is so annoying that they never could incorporate it into the app and you had to launch a different website and log in again. They need to dump this lame system or add something as a tier level replacement to the AP program (free Photopass, etc.)

People have simply said its annoying, exactly like you yourself just stated in your post. I don't see anybody making mountains. Individually, the requirements you need to be on your phone for are not that frustrating, but when combined, it just gets ridiculous.

I mean, do you though? Unless you’re coming on a peak week, reservations are always available to make day of. Heck, my wife and I change ours the morning of often. I don’t disagree that making reservations is annoying, but some of y’all make mountains out of things that aren’t actually issues. It makes sense though, doesn’t it? CPs came from all over to work at Disney because they love Disney. Most don’t care to do anything on their off day except go enjoy the parks.With that said, man, what a scheme. “Come work for us! With the little you make, you’ll give us a portion back in rent. We also know you’ll spend a lot of what you make back with us in the parks.” It’s almost voluntary slave labor.

interestingI would also suspect they spend on average way less than annual passholders

It is way way more than that. CPers alone make up a good number on a daily basis.

The fact that CMs have to make a reservation is absolutely insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How many CMs are in a park on any given day? 50 or 100?. This is nuts but at least they can go again.

So far the good to go days for CMs have matched the AP days. CMs can see them on the calendar when they go to make a reservation.

Do good to go days apply to CMs as well? I thought it was only APs.

This one was surprising. I saw the news about the merchandise VQ on May 1st and my Dad wanted a reservation, but none were available (Main Entrance Pass). Then an hour later, it's a good to go day. Whatever, Disney. Why make this so annoying!

Notable. They must not be expecting a big crowd for DHS's 35th anniversary day.

Wow, May 4th unavailable for AP reservations at HS. I know it's May 4th, but it can't possibly be that busy given how slow it is this time of year. They just want to push AP's to other parks and/or don't want to staff HS enough to cover the demand. Shameful.

Passholders can learn which days are good-to-go days by checking the following:

- Home screen of the My Disney Experience app (if their pass is linked to their MyDisney account)
Additionally, April 18-21, 2024 is also the runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend, so that'll be busy. Consequently, expect 8/10 or 9/10 crowd levels for April 1-6, 2024. After that, a reasonable drop-off is likely the following week.

Since many schools have their spring breaks towards the beginning of the month, you can expect to see higher crowd levels in the beginning of April. To avoid the larger crowds that come with spring break season, visiting during the end of the month will be a wise move.
