March Hours Extended at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

March Hours Extended at Disney’s Hollywood Studios


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.


It’s a new week, which means new hours for Hollywood Studios! Check the dates and then grab your Fastpasses!

The popularity of Rise of the Resistance has attracted many guests to Hollywood Studios. The boarding group system has enticed people to arrive early. The crowd levels, in turn, have prompted Walt Disney World to frequently adjust park openings.

We just saw every day in February extend its opening hours (details HERE and HERE).

More Showtimes Added for "Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular" at Disney's Hollywood Studios

Now it’s March’s turn, especially since Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular has returned for the month as well!

Pirate Tip:

If your dates have been affected by these extensions, this is a great time to check for newly added FastPasses for your favorite experience.

Additional hours means additional FastPass+ could fall within those hours. Grab those Slinky Dog Dash or Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run Fastpasses!

As a reminder, Millennium Falcon Smuggler’s Run recently became a FastPass option, which begins on February 19. This is a Tier 1 FastPass, which means you will have to choose between Smuggler’s Run and Slinky Dog Dash. I chose Smuggler’s Run for my trip in February because I haven’t experienced it yet!

With March being a busy month because of spring break, it is very likely we see park hours continue to be updated across all 4 parks. As always, we will keep you updated with the latest in park hours and Disney news.
