If you want to catch the fireworks at Magic Kingdom or EPCOT and do not see a Park Pass Reservation available, keep in mind that you can always Hop to those parks if you have a Park Hopper after 2PM each day. While there seems to be more Park Pass Reservation availability than we’ve seen over the past several weeks, you’ll still want to book your Passes ASAP in case they run out.
