Planning a Disney World vacation can be complicated.
Cinderella Castle
If you’ve ever done it, you know that it can involve a LOT of thinking ahead. Not only do you need to make your dining reservations 60 days before your trip, but you also still need to make park pass reservations ahead of time, too — if you don’t, you might discover you can’t visit certain parks on the days you want. If you’re visiting Disney World this weekend, you might find some parks with NO park pass reservations available.
So it looks like it’s going to be a VERY busy weekend in Disney World over the next few days. When we were looking at park pass availability, we noticed that EPCOT is completely sold out of park pass reservations for today, November 10th, for Disney World hotel guests…

…and ticket holders. This means that if you did NOT make a park pass reservation for EPCOT today and you fall into one of those two categories, you cannot visit the park today. Note that Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios still have availability.

But we also discovered something else when we checked park pass reservations for Disney World Annual Passholders. Magic Kingdom is completely full today THROUGH the weekend, November 10th-12th. So if you want to go to Magic Kingdom this weekend and do NOT have park pass reservations, you are out of luck.

This is why we always advise making those park pass reservations as soon as you can finalize your plans. This is especially important now going into the holiday season when we expect to see more days fill up quickly. The good news is that as of January 9th, 2024, most Disney World visitors will NOT have to make park pass reservations if they have date-based tickets.
If you’re still hoping to get into Magic Kingdom or EPCOT soon, keep an eye on those park pass reservations — sometimes Disney will add more reservation availability later on.

We’ll continue to keep an eye on park pass reservations through the holidays, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

FYI; The first week of November will be packed every year going forward.
The state of New Jersey gives public schools off that entire week and have done so for the last 3 years now. Disney has become the default destination for everyone during that time. Unofficially dubbed, “Jersey Week”.
Probably best for everyone else to know that information.
