Planning to Visit Disney World on The Fourth of July? Park Pass Availability Has CHANGED!

Holidays can notoriously be busy in Disney World, but sometimes, it’s a bit of a toss-up on WHICH holidays or WHICH parks are going to be busiest.

Fourth of July

One thing’s for sure — while the Fourth of July is quite the packed day, despite how hot it usually is in Orlando, because hey, who doesn’t want to spend the holiday riding Disney rides and eating all the snacks? If you’re planning to be in the parks for the holiday, though, park pass availability has CHANGED, and it could mean your plans need to be adjusted.

As a reminder, you do NOT need a park pass reservation if you have a date-based ticket to Disney World (ie, you’re visiting specific days and your ticket reflects that, like July 1st-5th). However, if you don’t have a date-based ticket, usually in the form of Annual Passes, and sometimes large group tickets that are often used by school trips, you do have to make park pass reservations before you go into the parks. On some days, that’s no problem, and if you forget to make you, you can just quickly snag one before tapping into the park. On holidays, though? That’s not what we recommend.

Park pass availability has now changed for the four Disney World parks on July 4th. We’re seeing park pass availability change on a dime, even hour by hour, so we recommend continuing to check back. Today, June 30th, we noticed that Magic Kingdom reservations are now sold out for July 4th for both Incredi-Pass and Sorcerer Pass holders. At this time, all three other parks are available. The Pirate Pass and Pixie Dust Pass are both blocked out for the holiday.

Availability is also fully open for all four parks on July 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, which is also an improvement from what we saw before. This could be because Disney released more availability for the parks, which isn’t entirely uncommon as Disney sees what tickets have been sold so far. With only a few days left until the holiday, we’re expecting to see this change a good bit, so make those reservations now to be safe!
