The Clock’s Ticking: How to Avoid Missing Out on Disney World’s Holiday Festivities
It’s that magical time of the year again, and I’ve got some hot-off-the-press news for you! If you’re dreaming of a holiday sprinkled with Disney magic, listen up!
As I was reviewing my Disney World park reservations for the holidays, I noticed that two days, as of right now, are completely sold out for The Magic Kingdom.
Plus, Epcot also has no availability for New Year’s Eve.
Let’s look into the details of what still is available. If you are planning a Disney World Christmas trip, it’s time to buckle up and make those park reservations, like, now!
Magic Kingdom Availability
Magic Kingdom always sells out first, so it’s no surprise several days are showing no availability.
For people staying either at a Disney Resort or have purchased multi-day tickets, Magic Kingdom reservations are sold out for December 25th and December 31st.
Please note, these screen prints were from late Thursday night, December 7th:
Annual pass Incredi Pass holders fare a little worse. Multiple dates are sold out, however, December 31st shows availability.
No availability at Magic Kingdom:
- December 7th
- December 9th
- December 16th
- December 17th
- December 18th
- December 19th
- December 25th
Epcot Availability
So far, the only sold-out day is New Year’s Eve for those staying at a Disney Resort or having a multi-day ticket.
Annual Pass Incredi Pass holders also only show New Year’s Eve without any availability.
Hollywood Studios & Animal Kingdom Availability
Currently, these two Disney World theme parks have availability every day throughout the holidays, but I do not expect that to continue.
