Theme park hours extended for this busy Walt Disney World Marathon weekend

Theme park hours extended for this busy Walt Disney World Marathon weekend


For a stress-free Disney or Universal Studios vacation, let the FREE expert planners at Royal Carriage Vacations take care of every detail including dining reservations, applying discounts, and onboard cruise credit.


If you’re familiar with my website, you’ll know that over 6 months ago, I predicted Heavy to Insane crowd levels for this weekend. It’s the convergence of the end of Holiday travel and the Walt Disney World Marathon. There are other side factors for the prediction including smaller events at ESPN Wide World of Sports and the National Championship game in Tampa. With all that said, some of the theme park hours are increasing for this weekend.

  • Hollywood Studios increased January 4 and 5 to 9pm closure.
  • Magic Kingdom increasd January 5, 6 and 7 to 11pm closure.

You’ll be able to find the adjusted park hours on my Crowd Calendar for January 2017.

Do you have crowd calendars for Universal Studios as well? We are huge Disney fans and visit every other year. I find your blogs extremely helpful and informative! We decided to do a long weekend at Universal the end of this month, and though Universal does post a crowd calendar, I can find very little other info. Can you help?

I'm working on adding Universal info. Best to visit early in the week and avoid Fridays and Saturdays
