food IS a theme park
There’s rarely a dull week in Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
This week was full of surprises, with updates on the Splash Mountain Princess and the Frog re-theme, opening dates, and tons of EPCOT Food & Wine Festival news! But there’s one REALLY important thing to do before getting to Disney World, especially with a big holiday coming up next week. Let’s check the calendars!
What’s this, what’s this? Jack Skellington…at the beach?
Jack! What’s this?
We learned today that Disney World will be celebrating the holidays in Magic Kingdom with a new after-hours event, as well as the Christmas Tree Stroll in Disney Springs. We were SO excited to learn that Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion Holiday will be back this year, and today Disney alluded to a possible Disney Halloween in July celebration…with a Nightmare Before Christmas mention?!
A LOT of things have changed in Disney World over the past few weeks. There’s a new mask policy in place, self-serve condiments are starting to return, Casey’s Corner just reopened, and more things are already different in the Most Magical Place on Earth!
Let’s Go to Disney World!
But, if you’re heading to Disney World in July, even MORE things will be different. Fireworks will be returning, restaurants will be reopening, and lots of other things will be changing. So, to make sure that you’re prepared for your trip, today we’re breaking down the 7 things that will be different in Disney World in July!
Can you believe it’s already July?!
It has been a wild year!
This year has been a pretty wild year for Disney World, with health and safety changes, reopenings, and big announcements for the 50th Anniversary. If you’re traveling to Disney World this July, there are some big things you need to know, and we’re sharing the full list with you today!
We’re still seeing quite a few closures around Disney World property.
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
Even though hotels and restaurants are reopening right and left, some things remain unavailable. Still, others are closed temporarily for planned refurbishments! Of course, if you’re planning on visiting, we like to keep you updated. So we’re bringing you all the hotels and attractions that will be closed in Disney World in July 2021!
Fireworks are officially coming BACK to Disney World on July 1st!
Happily Ever After
Guests will get to enjoy Happily Ever After in Magic Kingdom and EPCOT Forever over in EPCOT, but to get into the parks and see these spectaculars, you’ll need a Park Pass! Park Passes for July 1st have been filling up quickly. But, if you’re an Annual Passholder and you haven’t gotten your Park Pass yet for July 1st, you’re in LUCK!
We’ve got great news if you’re headed to Disney World in the next few months!
EPCOT
Anyone visiting Disney World theme parks right now must have a Disney Park Pass theme park reservation. These reservations have been going pretty fast throughout the summer, but we have seen Park Passes added after being booked as well. Now, we’ve seen some availability open up in June and July!
It’s almost summer in Disney World!
Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway
The weather is getting toasty and Park Passes are filling up FAST as demand to visit is high. And if you’re stopping by Disney World in the next few months, you’ll want to know about some extensions to park hours!
If you’ll be visiting Disney World soon, you’ll want to keep a close eye on those park hours.
Howdy, Woody!
The park hours may be different than what you’re used to from previous trips. You’ll also want to make sure you’re watching carefully for any big changes in park hours so you can spend as much time as possible in the parks you want to visit. Previously, Park Hours had only been released through July 24th, but now Disney has shared more hours for upcoming days in the summer!
Planning to visit Disney World this summer AND you want to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios to ride Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Slinky Dog Dash, and more??

Well, then you better start booking those Park Pass reservations ASAP and here’s why!
