A Look at the HOURS and Park Pass Availability in Disney World Next Week

As we get closer and closer to the start of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration, we can’t help but wonder how busy the parks will be. Disney World has steadily increased park capacity following the closures leading up to the 18 month-long festivities, meaning there could be LOTS of fellow travelers looking to take part in the celebration.

The 50th is almost here!

Before we can get to the 50th Anniversary, however, we have to continue on with the month of August! There’s a lot to see and do right now, and if you have a vacation coming up next week, it might be a good idea to catch up on the latest park hours and Disney Park Pass Reservation availability.
