food IS a theme park
We’re just days away from 2021, and if you’re planning on spending any part of New Year’s Eve in a Disney World theme park, you’ll need to make sure you’ve got a valid Park Pass reservation for the park you want to visit.

We checked on Park Pass availability recently and shared that with you, but when we checked again today we noticed that things have changed!
Disney likes to keep us on our toes!

Over the past few weeks we’ve seen Disney World Park Pass Reservations in December and January fill up and then become available again several times. This weekend reservations were starting to fill up for the holidays again, and now Disney has refilled park availability…again!
Are you planning to visit Walt Disney World for Christmas, New Year’s Eve, or another day in December?
Magic Kingdom
We’ll, one important thing you’ll need to keep in mind is that (in addition to your park ticket) you need a Park Pass Reservation for the park you want to visit. We’ve seen Park Pass Availability for December changing quite a bit lately, and today it’s changed AGAIN. If you haven’t gotten your Park Passes for December already, NOW is the time to do so!
Headed to Disney World this month for some holiday cavalcades, EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays, and festive treats?

Well, if you haven’t already gotten your Park Passes or you’re looking to change some of the ones you have for other parks, now is your time. Disney has made more Park Passes available throughout the month!
If you’re a Disney World fan — there are a few dates in 2021 you need to know…

…And one of those dates is October 1st, 2021. On that day, Walt Disney World is celebrating a BIG anniversary — its 50th!!
Want to grab lunch at Animal Kingdom but dinner at EPCOT? When the Disney World theme parks reopened earlier this year, park hopping was suspended. Currently, you can only visit one park per day.

But, things are about to change! Disney just announced that Park Hopping will be returning on January 1st, 2021, with some modifications. Disney has also sent out an email to Annual Passholders about this update.
Even though Walt Disney World’s theme parks have been reopened since mid-July, one aspect of the parks has been missing: park hopping.
Disney World Monorail
During Disney World’s initial reopening phase, the Park Pass system was implemented, and guests could only visit one park per day. Starting January 1st, 2021 that will change.
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!
Getting a boarding group for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is still one of the most difficult things to do (it may even be harder than snagging some of that limited edition merch on shopDisney)!
Rise of the Resistance
Disney has made some changes recently that may make things a bit easier for some — like installing plexiglass barriers in the ride vehicles to accommodate more guests, and allowing guests to sign up for morning boarding groups at 7AM from outside the park. But, what if you try to sign up for a 7AM boarding group (and the Force just isn’t with you that day) and you aren’t able to snag a group? Here’s what you can do.
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!
