As we get closer and closer to Halloween, Disney World is getting more and more busy!
Allll the Halloween vibes in Magic Kingdom right now!
And, it’s totally understandable, because there are a lot of things to do! You can take a look at all of the holiday decor, eat spooky treats, attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and more. But, if you’re going to the parks soon, it’s necessary to take a look at the calendar before you go. And, don’t forget that you still need a Park Pass Reservation to get into the parks — so we’ve compiled that info right here just for you!
Magic Kingdom Park Hours
We’re starting in Magic Kingdom, where on October 17th, 19th, and 22nd the park will be open from 9AM to 11PM. On October 16th, 18th, 20th, and 21st, Magic Kingdom will be open from 8AM to 6PM due to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, which runs from 7PM to 12AM on those dates.

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 on October 16th, 17th, 20th, 21st, and 22nd. On October 18th & 19th, the park will be open from 8AM to 7PM.

The Disney World Park Pass availability calendar is divided by theme park tickets, resort hotels, and Annual Passes. For visitors with Theme Park Tickets, both Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios are booked up for October 16th-21st. Then, only Magic Kingdom is full for October 22nd.

What a scam.
My APs expire tomorrow and not renewing;
Went 9/23 through 9/30, and you couldn’t MOVE in MK or get on anything decent. And they say this is to prevent overcrowding!?
Makes sense to me. MN schools have a break for part of the week and most people just take the whole week. WDW is a very popular destination. I actually canceled my trip in August for next week. We are going at Thanksgiving instead.
What is the definition of THE PARK IS SOLD OUT. As recently as 2019 we spent 10 days in Disney world and the park was not sold out and IT WAS moving SMOOTHLY. We all had THREE FREE FAST PASSES, THERE WAS NO GENIE PLUS AND NO INDIVIDUAL ATTRACTION I guess that’s why everything ran smoothly.it seems that DISNEY HAS CREATED THE PROBLEM IN ORDER TO MAKE MUCH MUCH MORE MONEY. Disney, How do you explain this. I’ll answer my own question. Disney YOU ARE A GREEDY COMPANY.
