Welcome back to another weekly roundup of Disney World park hours and current Park Pass Reservation availability! We’ve been able to Park Hop in a modified fashion for a week now, and we’ve learned quite a bit already about what the process looks like!
The 2021 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is here as well, giving guests more to see and do (and eat!) in EPCOT from January 8th through February 22nd! So let’s take a look at all the key information you’ll need to successfully tackle your trip to Disney World next week!
Disney World Park Hours the Week of January 10th
Let’s kick things off with a review of next week’s park hours, which are reduced from the schedule that the parks have had these past few weeks for the holiday season. Magic Kingdom will be open daily from 9AM-7PM, with Park Hopping hours available from 2PM-7PM.
EPCOT will be open daily from 11AM-8PM, with Park Hopping available from 2PM-8PM. The Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts will be open the same hours as the park, from 11AM-8PM.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios will have the same daily hours as Magic Kingdom, from 9AM-7PM. Park Hopping at Hollywood Studios will be available from 2PM-7PM.
As a reminder, if you want to ride Rise of the Resistance, Hollywood Studios needs to be your FIRST park of the day! At this time, you cannot Park Hop to Hollywood Studios and then get a Boarding Group for Rise of the Resistance. All Boarding Groups will be distributed for the day prior to Park Hopping being allowed.
Finally, Disney’s Animal Kingdom will be open daily from 8AM-5PM, with Park Hopping available from 2PM-5PM.
Each of the four theme parks have the same daily park hours next week, so deciding which parks to visit on each day will largely come down to Park Pass Reservation availability. If you are looking to add Park Hopping, keep in mind the hours that you have at each park after 2PM. Disney’s Animal Kingdom only has three hours of eligible Park Hopping (2PM-5PM), whereas EPCOT has six hours available to Park Hop (2PM to 8PM).

Current Disney Park Pass Reservation Availability the Week of January 10th
Let’s take a look now at current Park Pass Reservation availability! As a reminder, if you wish to Park Hop you are required to make a Park Pass Reservation for the first park you wish to visit, and you must visit and scan into the park for which you have a Park Pass Reservation before you Hop to your next park.
Disney Resort Guests
As of this writing, Disney Resort Guests can make a Park Pass Reservation every day at each of the four theme parks!
Theme Park Ticket Guests
Just like Disney Resort Guests, each day next week is currently wide open for Theme Park Ticket Guests across all four parks.
Annual Passholders
Annual Passholder Park Pass Reservation availability for next week is different, but only slightly. As of this writing, Annual Passholders may make a Park Pass Reservation at all four theme parks from Monday, January 11th through Friday, January 15th.
On Sunday, January 10th and Saturday, January 16th, Annual Passholders can make a Park Pass Reservation at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
While there is currently tons of Park Pass Reservation availability, the situation could change on a daily basis! Disney frequently updates their availability calendar, so be sure to triple check ahead of your visit to make sure you can book a Park Pass Reservation.
If you are Park Hopping, be sure to check and make sure the second, third, or fourth park you want to visit has the capacity to accommodate additional guests. As always, we’ll be keeping a close watch on Park Hours and Park Pass Reservation availability and bring you the latest planning information!
