NEWS: EPCOT Is SOLD OUT For New Year's Eve

Happy first of November, or what we like to call, the first day of the holiday season in Disney World.

Happy Holidays!

Now, we’ve already seen some holiday decorations arrive in the parks. The first Jollywood Nights is coming up SOON in Hollywood Studios, followed by Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom has transformed overnight (and we’re always impressed when it goes from Halloween to Christmas in less than 24 hours). If you’re looking forward to the holiday season in Disney World, particularly New Year’s Eve, though, we’ve got a word of warning for you.

We’re already starting to see something for New Year’s Eve at EPCOT. Park Pass reservations are completely GONE for that day. Now, it’s no secret that New Year’s Eve is HUGE in EPCOT (there are usually dance parties and even a special fireworks celebration), so if you have plans to visit that park, know that it will be crowded.

Note that park pass reservations are only required for SOME Disney World visitors including Annual Passholders, and those who don’t have a date-based ticket. But when park pass reservations are gone, it’s a good sign that a park will be very busy on that day. We just wanted to give you a heads up if that’s also your plan for New Year’s Eve, so you can prepare accordingly. Note that park pass reservations are also gone for Magic Kingdom on New Year’s Eve.

This also probably means that there will be a huge demand for Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass, so the prices for those ride skip-the-line options could also be higher on New Year’s Eve. You’ll want to adjust your Disney World budget accordingly.
