Disneyland Introduces Park-Specific Annual Pass Block-Out Dates

The move is an effort to control the ever-growing crowd.

ANAHEIM, CA -- In an effort to control the growing attendance, Disneyland introduced new block-out dates for annual pass holders. The Orange County Register reported the resort will have two different calendars, one for Disneyland and one for California Adventure, for each annual pass. Each calendar will have its own block-out dates.

Annual pass holders "will need to check both calendars to see which park they can visit on which day. The biggest changes will be to holders of the mid-priced Deluxe passport, with the higher levels experiencing no change at all," the Register reported.

"The changes come at a time when resort officials are debating how best to manage enormous crowds expected when the new Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge land opens in Disneyland in summer 2019," the Register said.
