Hi Sara!
I'm so excited to hEAR you're in the planning stages of a Walt Disney World Resort vacation! I'm happy to help you find the information you need to get started.
October is going to be such a magical time to visit, as all four theme parks will begin the 18-month celebration of Walt Disney World's 50 Anniversary.
The World's Most Magical Celebration kicks off on October 1, 2021, with brand new
Nighttime Spectaculars,
Beacons of Magic, the
Disney Fab 50 Character Collection, and the grand opening of
Remy's Ratatouille Adventure in Epcot. There will be so much to see, do, and experience during this amazing celebration - I can't wait!
Before you purchase your
Theme Park Tickets, you'll want to check the
Theme Park Availability calendar for the dates you plan to visit. At this time, Guests are asked to have a
Disney Park Pass reservation for the parks they'd like to visit on specific dates, to assist with capacity limitations during this time of Walt Disney World's
phased reopening. Once you've confirmed there is availability, you are ready to purchase your tickets. You can choose from a Standard 1 Park per Day ticket, or choose a ticket with the
Park Hopper Option that allows you to visit more than one park a day. You'll be asked to choose the first day of use for your ticket - the calendar will show an average price per day. Once you've purchased your tickets, it's time to make your Disney Park Pass reservations! Remember, to enter a park, both a park reservation and a valid ticket for the same park on the same date are required.
To find park hours for Walt Disney World's four theme parks, you can
refer to this calendar on the Walt Disney World website. The park hours for October have not been fully released yet, but I expect they will be posted soon.
If you'd like assistance building a
Walt Disney World Resort vacation package, you can
call to speak to a Cast Member, or
reach out via email. You also have the option to get in touch with an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner in your area, who can take care of all the details of your Disney vacation, at
no extra cost to you. A simple internet search can help you find one of these pixie-dusted professionals near you.
I hope this helps with your plans and preparations for your fall visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth!
