Why EPCOT Might Have the Lowest Crowds in Disney World Next Week!

Just like that, we’re approaching the end of March and we’re heading into April ALREADY. 2021 is really flying by, isn’t it? If you’re heading to Disney World next week, you’re probably wondering what the crowd situation will look like!

The spring break crowds have been coming full force to Disney World (at least in whatever way they can, given the resort’s current capacity limits), and for the week of March 28th, they don’t seem to show any signs of slowing. That’s because we can look at our weekly roundup of park hours and Disney Park Pass Reservation availability (or lack thereof) to give us some hints!

Disney World Park Hours the Week of March 28th

Across the board, each of the four theme parks have the same daily hours of operation as they did last week. Magic Kingdom will be open daily from 8AM-9PM.

Hi There, Disney World 🥰

EPCOT will be open each day for the week of March 28th from 11AM-11PM. If you’re looking to visit the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, those hours will also be from 11AM-11PM.

Spaceship Earth

Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be open daily next week from 9AM-8PM.

Last but not least, Disney’s Animal Kingdom will be open next week from 8AM-8PM daily.

Tree of Life

As we’ve seen over the last few weeks, each park has consistent park hours every day of the week. Like we mentioned last week, when a Tuesday has the same park hours as a Saturday, that’s a strong indication that the crowds will be relatively the same every day — or at least Disney is preparing for the crowd levels to be the same all week.

Current Disney Park Pass Reservation Availability the Week of March 28th

Now, let’s take a look at the current availability of Park Pass Reservations for the week of March 28th.

Select Resort Hotels

If you’re a guest staying at a Select Resort Hotel, we hope you grabbed those Park Pass Reservations by now! For the remainder of the month of March, Park Pass Reservations are only available at EPCOT on select days (you’ll see them indicated in yellow below). The other days are completely full and Park Passes are not available at any of the parks on those days that appear in grey in the calendar below. Therefore, EPCOT could see lower crowds than the other parks!

For the part of next week which takes place in early April, again Park Passes appear to only be available for EPCOT for guests at Select Resort Hotels.

Theme Park Tickets

Things look similar for guests with Theme Park Tickets. On March 28th and March 31st, there appear to still be Park Passes available for EPCOT only. March 29th and 30th, however, appear to be completely booked.

From April 1st through the 3rd, again only Park Passes for EPCOT appear to be available at the moment for guests with Theme Park Tickets.

This is very similar to what we saw last week. EPCOT seems to have the most openings! 

Annual Passholders

Things are a little different for Annual Passholders looking to book a Park Pass Reservation, however! On March 28th and March 29th, Park Passes are available at select parks. Right now, all parks except Disney’s Hollywood Studios are available on March 28th. All parks except Magic Kingdom are available on March 29th. And all parks are available March 30th and 31st.

On April 1st and April 3rd, Park Passes are available at all of the theme parks for Annual Passholders! On April 2nd, however, Park Passes are available for all parks except Hollywood Studios for Passholders.

If you’re heading to Disney World next week, get ready for some of those spring break crowds to still be around! Since spring break falls into different weeks on people’s calendars, we can expect park hours and Disney Park Pass Reservation to be more or less the same for the next few weeks as we head into April. This could also be a strong indication of what we can expect this summer if Disney World’s capacity does not change by then!
