food IS a theme park
The Christmas season is coming up in Disney World and that means it’s about time for the BUSIEST season of the year.
Magic Kingdom
Of course, the holidays won’t look quite as busy this year with the limited capacity and demand due to the global health crisis, but we’ve still seen Disney Park Pass theme park reservations fill up pretty quickly for December. If you missed out on your reservation, we’ve got good news today!
Thinking of heading to Disney World during December to celebrate the holiday season?
Magic Kingdom
One thing you’ll definitely need is a Disney Park Pass Reservation for each of the parks you want to visit on the specific days you want to be there. If you haven’t already booked your Park Passes for New Year’s Eve or Christmas Day, you definitely should soon as the days are starting to fill up!
Planning to head to Disney World during Thanksgiving week to admire the holiday decorations and add a little magic to your (socially distanced) celebrations? You’ll want to make sure you’ve got your Disney Park Pass reservations well in advance!
Holidays at the Magic Kingdom 2020
A few weeks ago, we saw Park Pass reservations filling up Thanksgiving week, and even Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios were unavailable for select guests on certain days, but today things are looking different. If you haven’t already gotten your Park Passes for Thanksgiving week, NOW is your chance!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Disney World…
Hollywood Studios Christmas
…which happens to be one of the busiest seasons of the year! As a quick update, Disney implemented a new Park Pass reservation system that monitors capacity levels in the theme parks. Guests must make a reservation prior to entering the parks and passes are subject to availability. Holidays and weekends tend to fill up the quickest and December has been filling up fast! This is especially true for reservations at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom on Christmas Day. Now, more reservations have filled up for Christmas Day and News Years Eve!
If you’re planning on visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios in December and have not yet made a park pass reservation, you may be out of luck.
Galaxy’s Edge
As you may know, Disney World started the park pass reservation system when it reopened to keep its parks at limited capacity. So a park pass, in addition to a valid ticket, is now required to enter any given park.
Christmas in Disney World is bound to look pretty different compared to years past as the holiday season kicks off soon in the parks!
Cinderella Castle Dream Lights
While we put on our best pair of Peppermint Minnie Ears and a spirit jersey to match, we’ll be able to see projections on Cinderella’s Castle, wave to Santa Claus, visit the Festival of the Holidays, and more soon! But, you might want to get a move on if you plan on visiting the parks throughout the holidays since things are already starting to look busy!
As Halloween activities have taken over Disney World, the parks have been getting busier and busier.
Halloween at Magic Kingdom
And that means that Halloween park passes have also been going fast for pretty much everyone!
Park Pass availability can be very up and down.
Slinky Dog Dash
It seems to constantly be changing. A date will fill up only to become available just a few short days later. And that’s what exactly has happened for November.
Christmas is sure to look a little different this year, but that doesn’t change the fact that Disney World is a big piece of the holiday season for a lot of folks!
Magic Kingdom Holidays
One big change from last year’s holidays is the addition of the Disney Park Pass reservation system. To head to Disney World on any given day you need valid park admission AND a theme park reservation — and that includes Christmas.
Over the past week or so, we’ve been closely monitoring Disney Park Pass Reservation availability on Halloween, which also happens to be on a Saturday this year! Reservation availability has come and gone for Magic Kingdom, but the other three parks have consistently been available for guests to book.
Halloween Decor at Magic Kingdom
That could now be changing, as MORE parks are starting to fill up for certain ticket types on Halloween!
