food IS a theme park
Labor Day weekend is here, Halloween is just around the corner, and the holiday season will be here before you know it! That means one thing: the potential for crowds…lots and lots of crowds!
Happy Halloween!
Recently, we’ve seen crowds and wait times reach VERY low levels in Disney World. Today, we’re taking a look at how Labor Day weekend has affected crowds at Disney World.
COVID-19 cases are rising across the country.

And with many kids returning to school and the fact that there still isn’t a vaccine available for kids under 12 years old, the CDC is concerned about travel this Labor Day weekend. They’ve recommended that unvaccinated people not travel at all, and vaccinated people should consider the risks before doing so.
It’s gonna be another busy weekend at Walt Disney World.
Magic Kingdom
To manage capacity, all guests are required to make a reservation before entering any Disney World theme park. Annual Passholder reservations tend to fill up the fastest followed by Resort Guests and general Theme Park Ticket Guests. Labor Day Weekend was the first time Disney Park Pass reservations filled up for all three ticket categories. It seems that Disney World will see another busy weekend because reservations for Saturday are filling up right now.
If you’re headed to Disney World today, you may be in for some serious crowds. During this holiday weekend, we saw Disney parks reach their capacity limits.
Magic Kingdom
But, if you’re a Haunted Mansion fan, you may find yourself waiting in a line that isn’t even for the attraction itself. Today, we found one of the longest lines in Magic Kingdom…at a quick service restaurant.
We have some great news for guests visiting Disney World over the holiday weekend!
Hollywood Studios
Leading up to Labor Day weekend, Disney Park Pass reservations were completely booked for all four parks for several days in a row. But now, park availability has opened back up!
Since Disney World’s reopening, Labor Day is the first holiday being celebrated in the parks (even though Halloween entertainment, treats, and more have started to pop up!).
Disney’s Hollywood Studios on Labor Day
Disney Park Pass availability for Labor Day Weekend kept seeing some changes with Saturday and Sunday of this weekend being listed as sold out across the board for ALL guests (note right now VERY limited Passes look like they’re available!). We HAD to take a look at what the first holiday weekend was like back in Disney World!
The Polite Pig in Disney Springs — please and thank you! — is serving up a takeaway special just for this Labor Day Weekend.

Well, if you don’t have your Park Pass reservation already, you may be out of luck…key word “may.”
It’s almost time to celebrate Labor Day in Disney World.

While Raglan Road has canceled its Great Irish Hooley this year in Disney Springs, other restaurants in the resorts will be extending their hours for guests to dine longer throughout the weekend.
If you were hoping to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios over Labor Day weekend and haven’t reserved you Disney Park Passes yet, you might’ve missed your chance!
Hollywood Studios
Reservations for Disney’s Hollywood Studios have become notoriously more challenging to snag since the new Disney Park Pass system when live, often booking up weeks in advance. And since you need a Disney Park Pass reservation AND valid admission to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios during Disney World’s initial reopening phase, you may not be able to get in at all unless you’re on your A-game! Since this is such a major adjustment, we want to make sure you know what is available and what your park options are.
