Will you be in Disney World next week?
If so, you’ll be arriving at a really good time. The weather won’t be too hot (although we can’t promise it won’t get a little chilly!). You don’t have to worry about marathon weekend crowds (because that’s over — for now). Plus you’ll be able to check out the EPCOT Festival of the Arts. But BEFORE you go, you will need to know about park hours and the park pass reservation availability.
So we’re going to get you up to speed on both, starting with park hours.
Magic Kingdom Park Hours
Magic Kingdom will be open from 9AM-11PM on January 29th and 30th and from 8AM to 4:30PM on January 31st.
The park will be open from 9AM-11PM on February 1st, 3rd, and 4th and from 8AM to 10PM on February 2nd.
Guests can enjoy Extended Evening Hours on February 1st from 11PM-1AM.
EPCOT Park Hours
The park hours for EPCOT are from 9AM-9PM on January 29th-31st, with Extended Evening Hours on January 30th from 9PM-11PM.
EPCOT’s hours from February 1st-4th are also 9AM-9PM.
Don’t forget that you can park hop as of 2PM.
Hollywood Studios Park Hours
In Hollywood Studios, park hours are from 8:30AM-9PM on January 29th-31st.
Park hours for Hollywood Studios remain the same on February 1st-4th: 8:30AM to 9PM.
Remember if you’re a Disney World hotel guest, you can enter the parks 30 minutes before the official opening time with Early Theme Park Entry.
Animal Kingdom Park Hours
Park hours for Animal Kingdom are from 8AM-7PM on January 29th and 9AM-7PM on January 30th-31st.
Hours are from 9AM-7PM on February 1st and 2nd, 8AM-7PM on February 2nd, and 8AM-8PM on February 4th.
Now let’s take a look at park pass availability for all four parks.
Park Pass Reservation Availability
Park pass reservation availability depends on if you have theme park tickets, are a Disney World hotel guest, or are Annual Passholders. For visitors with Theme Park Tickets, all four parks are available from January 29th-31st.
This is also the case for February 1st-4th.
All four parks are also available for those staying in Select Resort Hotels for January 29th-31st.
February 1st-4th is also all in the green (meaning all four parks are available).
Disney World uses a different calendar to track park pass availability for Annual Passholders. For the IncrediPass, park passes are available for all four parks from January 29th-February 4th.
Those with a Sorcerer Pass also have availability for all four parks from January 29th-February 4th.
Guests with a Pirate Pass have NO blockout dates and there’s availability for all four parks from January 29th-February 4th.
Finally, guests with a Pixie Dust Pass have blockout dates on January 29th and February 4th. However, all four parks are available from January 30th-February 3rd.
That’s everything you need to know about next week’s park hours and park pass availability in Disney World. If you ARE visiting Disney World next week, though, make sure you make those park pass reservations as soon as you can!
