Keep in mind that this may change! Park Pass Reservation availability can fluctuate on a day-to-day basis, and since the week of January 16th is starting with a holiday weekend, we may start to see less Park Pass Reservation availability in certain parks. If you have yet to book your Reservations, you should do so ASAP! Be sure to check back ahead of your next Disney World vacation to keep up on the latest news and announcements.
