We’re getting closer and closer to Halloween, and Disney World is getting more and more busy!
We even actually have seen the temperatures dropping in Disney World, which is giving us all of the spooky vibes for the season. If you’re going to the parks soon, there are a lot of things to do! You can take a look at all of the holiday decor, eat spooky treats, attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and more. But, you also need to take a look at the calendar before you go. And, don’t forget that you still need a Park Pass Reservation to get into the parks — so we’ve compiled ALL of that info right here just for you!
Magic Kingdom Park Hours
We’re starting in Magic Kingdom, where on October 24th, 26th, and 29th the park will be open from 9AM to 11PM. On October 23rd, 25th, 27th, and 28th, Magic Kingdom will be open from 8AM to 6PM due to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, which runs from 7PM to 12AM on those dates.
On October 26th, Extended Evening Hours (for qualifying Disney World Resort hotel guests) are scheduled from 11PM to 1AM.
EPCOT Park Hours
EPCOT will be open from 8:30AM to 9PM from October 23rd to the 29th.
Extended Evening Hours will take place on October 24th from 9PM to 11PM.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios Park Hours
Disney’s Hollywood Studios has the same hours as EPCOT, opening from 8:30AM to 9PM all week.
If you want to park hop in Disney World right now, you have to have a Park Pass Reservation to start your day and you have to wait until after 2PM to scan into your second park (you have to go to your first park first!). An easy way to travel between EPCOT and Hollywood Studios is via the Disney Skyliner!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park Hours
And Disney’s Animal Kingdom will be open from 8AM to 8PM on October 23rd & 29th. On October 24th & 28th, the park will be open from 8AM to 7PM, and on October 25th, 26th, and 27th, the park will be open from 9AM to 7PM.
Now, let’s check out the availability of Park Passes next week!
Park Pass Reservation Availability
The Disney World Park Pass availability calendar is divided by theme park tickets, resort hotels, and Annual Passes. For visitors with Theme Park Tickets, both Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios are booked up for October 24th. Then, only Hollywood Studios is full for October 25th, and only Magic Kingdom is full for October 26th.
If you’re staying at a Disney World hotel, the availability is the same as it is with the theme park tickets. Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios are booked up for October 24th. Then, only Hollywood Studios is full for October 25th, and only Magic Kingdom is full for October 26th.
If you’re a Disney World Annual Passholder you have a different calendar of park pass availability. Next week, the Incredi Pass has no blockout dates with full park availability.
Sorcerer Passholders is the same thing — there is full park reservation availability next week.
If you have the Pirate Pass you also have no blockout dates and every day is fully available.
And, the Pixie Dust Pass is blocked on October 23rd & 29th, but the rest of the week is open for reservations.
And that’s what you need to know about Disney World’s park hours and Park Pass availability for next week!
