food IS a theme park
If you’re planning a trip to Disney World this summer, then one of the things you’ll want to keep a close eye on are those theme park hours.

Park hours can change quite a bit before and sometimes even during your trip. Lately, we’ve seen some hours extended for select parks during the summer. If you’re planning to visit the parks in August, here’s what you need to know about those park hours!
Planning to visit Disney World this summer AND you want to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios to ride Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Slinky Dog Dash, and more??
Ready to Visit Hollywood Studios?
Well, then you better start booking those Park Pass reservations ASAP and here’s why!
There has been a bit of a heatwave sweeping across the U.S. and we’re not gonna lie — we’ve been lying on our couches watching Hamilton excessively!

And in addition to all our favorite classic movies and shows, we now know what we’ll be binge-watching in the dog days of summer!
Two of Disney World’s theme parks have already reopened to the general public while the remaining two are set to open tomorrow.
EPCOT
All guests who visit must have valid theme park admission and a reservation to visit Disney World during its reopening phase. And availability for Annual Passholders has been pretty slim. Now, Disney has shared that they will be increasing availability for Annual Passholders.

But the next big number we’re excited to see is a brand new Disney movie called The One and Only Ivan which will be making its way to Disney+ starting August 14th.
It seems like there’s always something special happening at Disney World!
Mickey Mouse
But even though some three-day weekends and holidays tend to bring heavier crowds to Disney World, you really need to know about these more unique events if you’re trying to avoid lots of people!

Thanks to R. O’Neil who just posted on the Disney Food Blog Facebook Fan Page that there have been reports of folks booking the Wishes Dessert Party for dates in June, July, and August 2010.
Sounds like this is a recent development, so several of the CMs at the phone banks are having to do some digging to find the info in the system.
Were you able to book the Dessert Party into the summer months? Let us know your experience! Call 407-WDW-DINE to book.
