With the announcements of the new Creations Shop opening in EPCOT this summer and the recently relaxed restrictions on wearing face masks for socially distanced outdoor photos, many Disney fans are making their way to the Parks this summer. Keep in mind that Disney has limited daily capacity with the new Park Pass System.

Disney Park Passes are organized in three categories — Theme Park Tickets, Select Resort Hotel Guests, and Disney World Annual Passholders — with a limited number of daily reservations for each theme park available within each category. Guest must have both a valid ticket or Annual Pass and a Park Pass for their park of choice on any given day.

Check the Walt Disney World official website to learn how you can book a Park Pass for your next visit.

Inside the Magic will keep you updated on all the Summer park hours in the future, and are excited to see how EPCOT’s huge transformations!
