Help with possible Jan. 1 trip

[ksucats]

There is a good chance that my family will be coming to Orlando late December. The rest of them want to do the parks for a couple days. (I don't, because I can't stand to wear a mask at all.) I am willing to go for 2 days - one day at Epcot and one at MK. Not surprisingly, it looks like they are all sold out until Jan. 1. But we could go 2 of the 3 days between Jan.1 - Jan. 3.

I am playing with the DisneyWorld website and it keeps locking up on me, so I came here for help. I understand I have to buy tickets and make reservations. I assume these are not refundable. If they are refundable, I would go ahead and buy now. If not, I need to wait until we know for sure if we are coming. But how long will it be before parks fill up Jan. 1-3? We won't know for certain for about 7-10 days.

We won't stay on property this time. It has been so many years since we have came and so much has changed and now the covid rules. I used to feel like an expert. Now I am lost. Thanks in advance.

You can look at availability using the Theme Park Reservation Availability Calendar. Please note the calendar is not updated real-time so may not reflect the actual availability at the moment a guest tries to book.

The only way to make a park reservation is to have a park ticket. Tickets are non-refundable. If you purchase tickets but end up not going, you may apply the cost of those tickets to a later date, paying any applicable increases.

There is no way to know when a park may fill to capacity. Thanksgiving and Christmas dates filled months in advance so no real way to tell when your dates may fill, if they do at all.

Thanks. That is kind of what I thought. Not sure why their website keeps crashing. I guess I will talk to the rest of the family and make a decision soon.
