The holiday season is HERE in Disney World, so you already know that a lot of people are heading to the parks for the season!

We’ve already been to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and the crowds were kind of surprising. But, we have definitely seen more crowds out and about during the day, and with Thanksgiving coming up, we’re sure that number will just go UP! If you’re planning on being in Disney World next week for the holidays, let’s take a look at the Park Pass availability and hours so you can be as prepared as possible!

Magic Kingdom Park Hours

We’re starting in Magic Kingdom, where on November 21st & 23rd-26th the park will be open from 9AM to 11PM. On November 20th & 22nd, 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 23rd, 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 20th to the 24th. Then, the park will be open from 9AM to 9:30PM on November 25th & 26th. Remember, the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays starts on November 25th!

Extended Evening Hours will take place on November 21st from 9PM to 11PM.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios Park Hours

Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be open from 8:30AM to 9PM all week, November 20th-26th.

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 all week, November 20th-26th.

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 on November 21st, 23rd, & 25th as of this writing. Remember that this availability CAN change (we previously saw Thanksgiving Day booked up for Magic Kingdom, but now it’s available again).

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 on November 21st, 23rd, & 25th.

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 all week as of this writing.

Sorcerer Passholders have full availability from November 20th-22nd, then they are blocked out for the rest of the week.

If you have the Pirate Pass, you are blocked out for the entire week, November 20th-26th.

And, the Pixie Dust Pass is the same — it’s blocked out all week, from November 20th-26th.

And that’s what you need to know about Disney World’s park hours and Park Pass availability for next week!
