With Halloween right around the corner, let’s catch up on the park hours and current Park Pass Reservation availability for the week of October 24th!
It’s finally here! Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration officially kicked off on October 1st, 2021, and we were there to soak it all in!
Disney World just turned 50!
Of course, the 50th Anniversary isn’t just a one-day party. Disney World is commemorating this historic milestone for 18-months, which means the odds are high that your next trip will take place during this celebration! If that’s the case, keep on reading so you can learn how to make the most of your 50th Anniversary Celebration vacation!
We forget this sometimes after neverending planning, budgeting, and preparing but going to Disney World is meant to be a VACATION. It is a destination meant to leave us relaxed, invigorated, and an escape from the pressure of the everyday. But, as we know, it can also be a little stressful at times!
Goofy gets it
Sure, there are things that happen that are out of our control (like bad weather or ride closures), there are things we can plan for, like days when we know the parks might be crowded, during a season with notoriously bad weather, or days when park pass reservations are full. But here’s the thing: there’s a reason that these days are stressful.
Disney World’s eighteen-month-long 50th Anniversary Celebration is off and running, and we’ve been covering all of the newest entertainment, merchandise, and, of course, food! From now until April 2023, the parks and resorts will be commemorating this historic milestone celebration with limited-time offerings you don’t want to miss!

One of the things you’re now able to do (if you want to) is upgrade your regular park tickets to an Annual Pass. By upgrading, you can apply the entire price you paid for your tickets into a select Annual Pass. But, before you do so, there’s a BIG thing you need to know about when it comes to Park Passes.
