food IS a theme park
We have an update for you if you are heading to Disney World soon!
Magic Kingdom
Park pass reservations are unavailable at Magic Kingdom for TWO days in October. We have all the details for you, so keep reading!
Imagine watching the sunrise by the Tree of Life in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, then watching the sunset in front of Cinderella Castle in the Magic Kingdom — talk about the perfect day! Thanks to Disney’s special Park Hopper tickets, guests can hop from park to park all on the same day. Whether you’re trying to maximize your time or just want a little variety in your day, park hopping is a popular option among many Disney World guests.
LET’S GO PARK HOPPING!!
If you haven’t been to Disney World in a few years, you might be surprised by the number of changes we’ve seen around the parks and resorts. Park hopping, for example, is a little different now than it was before the pandemic. What’s changed? Let’s take a look.
Things at Disney World have definitely changed following the park closures.
Cinderella’s Royal Table
We’re constantly watching for Park Pass Reservation availability, ordering a LOT more on Mobile Order, and dealing with a whole new world where FastPass+ is suspended. On top of all that, there’s limited capacity at the parks.
Disney Park Pass reservations were implemented when Walt Disney World reopened in July.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
To limit capacity, all guests are required to make a reservation prior to entering the parks. The Annual Passholder reservation category tends to fill up the fastest, especially on holidays and weekends. Weekend reservations for September and October have been filling up quickly. Now, bookings have started to fill up in November.
Two of Disney World’s theme parks have already reopened to the general public while the remaining two are set to open tomorrow.
EPCOT
All guests who visit must have valid theme park admission and a reservation to visit Disney World during its reopening phase. And availability for Annual Passholders has been pretty slim. Now, Disney has shared that they will be increasing availability for Annual Passholders.Â
Ever since Disney’s Park Pass reservation system was unveiled, checking the Disney Park Pass availability calendar every day has become one of our regular activities!
Magic Kingdom
That’s because, in order to visit any of Disney World’s reopened theme parks, guests are required to obtain a theme park reservation for each day of their visit. Previously, some days were showing no availability for guests to book new Park Pass reservations, but we’ve been noticing Park Pass availability return for some days and levels of eligibility.
Disney’s Park Pass system went live this morning for Annual Passholders (who didn’t have a resort stay) to make their Disney World theme park reservations. All guests are now required to have both a park ticket and reservation to visit during Disney World’s phased reopening.

The system came up early, and although it was sailing along a lot smoother than its initial launch, things were still very messy.
