The week of Thanksgiving typically marks an EXTRA busy season at Disney World.
It probably comes as a surprise to no one, though, as folks are headed to the theme parks to celebrate the holiday season and some much-needed time away from school and work. That being said, the parks get pretty crowded. It’s something we expect every single year, but that doesn’t make it any less of a punch in the gut when we’re greeted with those dense crowds and soaring wait times. If you’re hoping to head to the parks on the week of Thanksgiving, you’re going to want to keep reading so that you can ACT FAST.
On Monday, November 20th, we were greeted with crowds, crowds, and more crowds from the moment we entered the TTC. We were also greeted with record-high prices for Genie+, and we knew from that moment that the holidays have officially begun. However, that’s not all.
We realized that Park Pass Reservations are sold out for Monday, November 20th and Tuesday, November 21st in Magic Kingdom.
As of right now, the other parks still have reservations available. OH, and if you’re a Passholder, there are still reservations available for both days.
We wouldn’t be at all surprised if park passes continued to sell out over the next few days, so we’d recommend grabbing those reservations while you can if you’re planning to visit throughout the week. (Or any time throughout the holidays!)
We’ll continue to keep you updated with more Disney news, so follow along for more!
