New Years Eve is one of the busiest days of the year at Disney World and as expected the park is booked to capacity as crowds descend on the most magical place on earth to ring in 2021.
Disney World increased capacity to 40% for the Holidays and all four of Walt Disney World’s parks have hit that mark for New Year’s Eve according to what Disney World’s Theme Park Reservation Availability calendar shows.
Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios are no longer showing open availability, according to the calendar on the Disney World website as you can see below:
While it appears that Disney World’s four theme parks will not be open to host its usual midnight countdowns and even Magic Kingdom will close at 11 PM, according to listed park hours, there will be festive activities available at open Disney Resort Hotels.
