It’s the spookiest time of year at Disney World and that means one big thing — crowds can get SCARY!

You’ve come to the right place if you’re looking for Disney World planning tips, and we’ve got all the biggest tips and tricks you need to plan your trip. One of the KEY things you need to do is schedule your Park Pass Reservations, which are required for entering a Disney Park, and things can get complicated if you wait too long to book your passes. If you’re visiting Disney World next week, we’ve got the Disney Park Pass availabilities you need to know, from September 25th to October 1st.

Magic Kingdom Park Hours

Magic Kingdom is scheduled to be open from 8AM to 6PM on September 25th, 27th, 29th, and 30th. Those are the same dates Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is scheduled from 7PM to 12AM.

On the non-party dates of September 26th, 28th, and October 1st, Magic Kingdom is open from 9AM to 11PM.

Extended Evening Hours (for qualifying Disney World Resort hotel guests) is scheduled to occur on September 28th from 11PM-1AM.

EPCOT Park Hours

EPCOT will be open from 8:30AM to 9PM every day next week.

Park hopping is still allowed in Disney World but only after 2PM, and you must have a Park Pass Reservation to be able to Park Hop.

On Tuesday, September 26th, qualifying hotel guests can enjoy Extended Evening Hours from 9PM to 11PM.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios Park Hours

Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be open from 8:30AM to 9PM from September 25th to October 1st.

There are no Extended Evening Hours in Hollywood Studios next week, so keep that in mind if you were hoping for some extra time there.

Note that both Hollywood Studios and EPCOT have the same park hours next week!

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park Hours

And over in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the park will be open from 8AM to 8PM on September 25th and October 1st.

From September 26th to 30th, the park will be open from 8AM to 7PM.

Make sure you review your Disney World plans if you want that extra hour in Animal Kingdom.

Park Pass Reservation Availability

Now let’s review Park Pass Reservation availability for next week. For people with Theme Park Tickets, the only date with a sold-out park is September 26th, when Magic Kingdom is already full.

For qualifying Disney World hotel guests, Magic Kingdom is also sold out on September 26th.

Now if you’re a Disney World Annual Passholder, there’s a separate calendar you need to review for blockout dates and Park Pass Reservation eligibility. The Incredi Pass has no blockout dates with wide open availability over the next few months.

The Sorcerer Pass is blocked out from November 23rd to 26th, but other than that availability is open.

The Pirate Pass is open for reservations other than a few weekend and Thanksgiving week blockout dates.

And finally, the Pixie Dust Pass has the most blockout dates on weekends and holidays, but reservation availability is still open on qualifying weekdays.
