It’s the holiday season in Disney World which means a ton of people are flocking to the parks for the festivities!
We just went to the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party of the year, and the crowds seemed big in some areas, while small in others. But, that’s a limited-capacity event, and the parks during normal hours have a lot more room! So, are people planning on coming out in droves to go to the parks next week? Let’s take a look at the Park Pass Availability to find out!
But, before we do that, it’s important to know WHEN the parks are actually open next week, right? Right! Let’s get to it.
Magic Kingdom Park Hours
We’re starting in Magic Kingdom, where on November 13th, 16th, and 19th the park will be open from 9AM to 11PM. On November 14th, 15th, 17th, and 18th, Magic Kingdom will be open from 8AM to 6PM due to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, which runs from 7PM to 12AM on those dates.
On November 16th, 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 November 13th to the 19th.
Extended Evening Hours will take place on November 14th 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 November 13th, 14th, and 19th. On November 15th & 16th, the park will be open from 9AM to 7PM. And, on November 17th & 18th, the park will be open from 8AM 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, Magic Kingdom is booked up for November 13th, 14th, 16th, and 19th.
If you’re staying at a Disney World hotel, the availability is the same as it is with the theme park tickets. Magic Kingdom is booked up for November 13th, 14th, 16th, and 19th. Everything else is open.
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 have blockout dates on November 18th & 19th, but there is full availability for the other days of the week.
And, the Pixie Dust Pass is blocked on November 13th, 18th, and 19th, but the rest of the week is open for reservations.
