The Disneyland Resort has just announced some major changes to the Annual Passholder program as we hit the final stretch until Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opens just about one year from right now.
Starting June of 2019 the Disneyland Deluxe, Southern California, and SoCal Select Passports now have separate block out dates for both parks. Disney is shifting traffic to Disney California Adventure park due to Galaxy’s Edge opening at Disneyland. Disney has not changed the Signature pass block-out calendar yet but may do so in the future.

Disney is well aware of the looming crowd that will descend upon the resort when Star Wars land opens next year and this is only the first round of changes. More potential adjustments are in the works.
Do you think the new passport program changes will be enough to control overcrowding at the Disneyland Resort, or will this change simply make DCA a nightmare on the days Disneyland is blocked out?
