October is a BIG month for Disney World!

Magic Kingdom
Not only is it the 50th anniversary, but a new restaurant and attraction are set to open on October 1st! Park Passes at Disney World have been hard to grab for that date recently, but more park passes have just been added for ALL 4 parks in October!
As you can see on the Park Pass availability calendar, every day in October (including the BIG day, October 1st) is green for guests with a Theme Park Ticket. This means that all four theme parks are available.

The same goes for guests at Select Resort Hotels.

Park passes were also added for Annual Passholders on October 1st, but only at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

However, the next morning, passes for EPCOT were added for Annual Passholders, too!
These open park passes will NOT last long, so be sure to grab them ASAP! Remember, you MUST have a Park Pass Reservation to get into the theme parks. Disney World has announced that it will gradually increase capacity, so that is probably why we are seeing more park passes for October. We’ll continue to keep you updated on park pass availability!
