If you’re heading to Disney World next week, there’s some information you’ll need to know.
Cinderella Castle
As you plan your trip and figure out which park you want to visit, you’ll need to know when the parks are open, as well as the availability of Park Pass Reservations — which are required to enter the park. With special events like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and other factors, park hours and Park Pass availability fluctuate, so we’re here to bring you a look at when the parks are open and Park Pass Availability for next week, September 11th to September 17th.
Magic Kingdom Park Hours
Next week, Magic Kingdom park hours are a little all over the place due to the Halloween Party. There are parties on September 11th, September 13th, and September 16th, so the park is open from 8AM-6PM.

I can not believe they went a whole D23 Expo without addressing Annual Passes for new Florida residents. I am beyond heartbroken that I can not get one for the family (we’re looking at Pirate Passes). What a shame because it was a major reason I agreed to moved to Florida.
