Disney Park Pass availability increased for July 2021 at Walt Disney World including July 4

Posted: Friday June 25, 2021 2:32pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney has further added to the Disney Park Pass availability for July 2021 including July 4 as capacity continues to be raised at Walt Disney World theme parks.

Guests are returning to Disney World in large numbers as restrictions are lifted

Annual Passholder Park Passes are now available for July 4 at Magic Kingdom, Disney's Animal Kingdom, and Disney's Hollywood Studios. EPCOT remains unavailable on the fourth.

Disney has said that it will not present its usual special edition firework shows on July 4, and will instead continue with the rollout of the 'Happily Ever After' at Magic Kingdom, and EPCOT Forever at EPCOT.

In addition to replenishing July, more dates are also now available in June 2021, with full availability from June 26 through to the end of the month.

Happily Ever After returns to Magic Kingdom from July 1

Disney Park Passes are in high demand in early July as fireworks return to the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT. In addition, the parks are now operating with no mask requirements or physical distancing, offering guests a much more normal experience for the summer.

EPCOT Forever will be performed on July 4

To enter a Disney World theme park, you will need a Disney Park Pass reservation and valid admission for that park—for each day you would like to visit.

I think they are keeping it so they can close off a park if it’s going to see unusual demand. On my last trip, the only day a park reservation was full was the Saturday that Tony Baxter was signing at Epcot. Being able to limit the number of guests in a park when a special event is happening could be handy, I get that.

Ah so each provides separate information, one as to who plans on going to a particularly park, and then the other tap on who actually shows up.

I often play bus roulette and don’t know which park I’m headed to. Sometimes I remember to make the reservation on the bus / transportation. Sometimes I forget.

ManicMillennialJun 18, 2026

I don’t mean this in a rude way but I am curious why you don’t do it before heading to the park? When I lived down there I would get my park reservation while heading out the door and then drive to whatever park I just booked.

TrainsOfDisneyJun 18, 2026

2 different kinds of taps. I use the physical pass so I’m tapping my pass at the gate. “Tap my phone” - was being used for slang as in get on my phone and make a park reservation.

JMcMahonEsqJun 18, 2026

Not being a passholder, i am curious here. Without a reservation system, or even with one, if you don't tap your phone at the gate, is there another way that WDW tracks that you are entering the park? Data on number of bodies in the park, who are AP holders and who are ticket holders. What park you are visiting on a given day, what months have more AP visitors vs others, ect., seems like pretty important data to collect, especially if all it takes to collect it is a simple tap of your phone at the gate.
