You’ve come to the right place if you’re looking for Disney World planning tips.
Before you get to Disney World one of the most important things you need to do is schedule your Park Pass Reservations — otherwise, you may not be able to get into a Disney Park. Whether you’re visiting for a day or a week, we’ve got all the Park Pass availabilities you need to know for next week, September 18th to 24th.
Magic Kingdom Park Hours
Next week, Magic Kingdom opens at 8AM or 9AM, depending on the day. On nights of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party on September 18th, 20th, and 23rd, Magic Kingdom is open from 8AM-6PM.
On September 19th, Magic Kingdom will be open from 9AM-10PM, and on September 21st, 22nd, and 24th, it’s open from 9AM-11PM. Extended Evening Hours (for qualifying Disney World Resort hotel guests) will take place on September 21st from 11PM-1AM.
EPCOT Park Hours
EPCOT is open from 8:30AM to 9PM every day next week.
On Tuesday, September 19th, Extended Evening Hours take place from 9PM to 11PM.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios Park Hours
Over in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, next week’s daily hours are 8:30AM to 9PM.
That means both Hollywood Studios and EPCOT have the same hours next week, which makes Park Hopping a lot easier!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park Hours
Disney’s Animal Kingdom will once again change up daily hours on weekdays. On the weekend dates of September 18th and 24th, the park will be open from 8AM to 8PM.
From September 19th to 23rd, however, the hours change to 8AM to 7PM.
Park Pass Reservation Availability
It’s time to check out Park Pass Reservation availability for next week! For Theme Park Tickets, availability is mostly open with the exception of September 26th, on which date Magic Kingdom is already full.
For select Disney World hotel guests, availability is the same, with Magic Kingdom full on September 26th.
Disney World Annual Passholders also have a separate calendar for blockout dates and eligible Park Pass Reservations dates. The Incredi Pass has no blockout dates and it looks like availability is wide open.
The Sorcerer Pass also has wide open availability, other than being blocked out from November 23rd to 26th.
The Pirate Pass is blocked out on several dates but is otherwise open for reservations.
The Pixie Dust Pass is blocked out on weekends and the week of November 21st to 25th, otherwise has open availability next week.
