Hours in detailOperating days and hours are date-based on the park calendar (seasonal, including evening signature events such as The Great Big BOO! and North Pole Nights); there is no fixed weekly schedule.

AccessibilityBoarding Pass Program: guests with mobility restrictions or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) should stop at the Welcome Center in Sugar Plum Plaza on arrival. The Boarding Pass (guest plus up to 3 riding companions, 4 total) works at each ride’s Alternate Access Entrance (usually the exit): the ride associate writes a boarding time equal to the current line wait, and the party can rest away from the queue until then; only one boarding time may be held at a time. A Rider Access Form lists the rides the guest can safely enjoy; all riders must still meet height and medical requirements. A Guest Assistance Guide and Ride Admissions Policy are downloadable from the park site.

Sensory notesThe park warns ASD families to plan ahead: a visit includes heavy sensory stimulation - crowds, loud theaters, operating coasters, lights, noises and lines.
