Why Next Week Might Be A GREAT Time to Visit Disney World

Well, we’re about halfway through January, and how exactly did that happen? It seems like the holidays were just yesterday!

Spaceship Earth’s Figment Show!

Granted, the holiday crowds are pretty much gone from Disney World, and things seem to be returning to “normal,” although we’re sure the EPCOT Festival of the Arts will be bringing in some guests. So let’s take a look at park hours and the park pass reservation situation for next week.

Remember that you can park hop after 2PM, as long as you’ve scanned into the park you have a park pass reservation for earlier in the day.

Animal Kingdom Park Hours

At Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the park hours are from 8AM-7PM on January 15th-16th, and 20th-21st. The hours for January 17th-19th are from 9AM-7PM.

Now let’s take a look at park pass availability for the week.

Park Pass Reservation Availability

Your park pass reservation availability is dependent on whether you just have theme park tickets, are a Disney World hotel guest, or have an Annual Pass, depending on which category your ticket falls under. For visitors with Theme Park Tickets, all four parks are available from January 15th-21st.
