This morning, park hours were released through February 27th, so make sure to make your Disney Park Pass reservations for your trip (if you haven’t already). If you’re traveling the last full week in February, you can still hit up the last days of the Festival of the Arts, and you can take advantage of the fact that Park Hopping is returning to make sure you get everything done on your list! With the hours finally listed on Disney’s site, it’s time to kick your planning into gear!
2021 is almost here!

With EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts, Park Hopping returning, and new attractions coming soon, we’re definitely getting excited to experience next year at Disney World! To help with your planning, we’ve been keeping an eye on the park hours for the early part of the year, and now Disney’s added another week of hours to the online calendar!
The preparation we put into our trips to Disney World helps us start the magic months before we even step foot in a park. Planning outfits, park bags, choosing the perfect ears, everything takes time but pays off at trip-time.

Planning our outfits can sometimes get a little bit involved, but with so many MagicBands to choose from, it’s pretty easy to accessorize for the parks!
Given the recent health and safety updates, some of the most well-known Walt Disney World planning tips have gone out the window.
Pandora — World of Avatar
For instance, arriving at least 45 minutes prior to park opening was highly recommended if you wanted to enjoy popular attractions without waiting too long. Now, given the shorter lines, we recommend coming in later because you can avoid the morning crowds and still enjoy many of the rides. On our recent trip to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we noticed another interesting post-reopening phenomenon.
Disney World is currently promoting many new health and safety measures in its newly reopened parks. From face masks to temperature screenings and physical distancing, several elements are now mandatory for guests.

But other procedures, while strongly encouraged, are still considered optional. One of these enhancements is Mobile Order, a contactless way to pre-order and pre-pay for your food using the My Disney Experience app.
