Walt Disney World park hours updates for November, December and January

Walt Disney World park hours updates for November, December and January


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.


Walt Disney World has updated their park hours for November and December 2019 and January 2020 travel periods.  Here’s a list of the dates that are updated and what that means to you.

1. Fastpass

When the new hours are fully added to the My Disney Experience Fastpass system, you will able to search for and find that coveted, last-minute Avatar – Flight of Passage or Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Fastpass!  I noticed that many of the November 2019 dates have already been added to the system!

2. Early rope drop.

Most people don’t actually arrive at the theme parks until 10:00am or later, so the early bird gets some great rides with lower waits.  Try visiting Tomorrowland with Space Mountain, Astro Orbiter, Buzz Light-year and Tomorrowland Speedway with lower lines and use your Fastpass elsewhere.  Check out that amazing opening time for Christmas Day at the Magic Kingdom on my Crowd Calendar!

3. Longer days in the park.

If you visit early in the day for priority rides and character meets, you’ll be able to take a mid-day break and return in the evening for some nighttime magic.  An extra hour or two in the park will help you accomplish even more great attractions during your shorter day!  Even if you don’t want to ride rides in the evening, you should still check out the beautiful Christmas decor after dark!

Here’s a list of the dates that have changed park hours recently.  You can find the park hours, Extra Magic Hours, parades, and fireworks schedules on my Crowd Calendars!
