Disney World to Take Ride Reservations One Week in Advance

Walt Disney Co.’s Florida theme parks will let visitors reserve a space for shorter lines on rides as much as one week in advance, in an effort to address complaints about the process.

Disney hotel guests will be able to book ride reservations seven days ahead for their entire stay. Others can do so three days in advance. Presently park attendees can only book spots on the day of their visit, with many waking up at 7 a.m. to get first crack at them. The changes take effect July 24.
