Park Hours

As Walt Disney World welcomed Guests with a phased reopening back in July, many things were different then in previous visits to the Disney Parks. Guests were welcomed back, but found the loss of fireworks, parades, character meet and greets, and even more in time in the Disney Parks to be a bit of a shock.

Although many things were missing from the Disney experience, the Disney Parks were still very magical. Guests felt that the trade off for what was missing was justified with lower wait times, and lower Park capacity.

After the initial phased reopening in July, Guests were surprised that in August Park hours would be shortened more rather than being extended.

Christmas Holiday Hours

With the reopening of Walt Disney World back in July, Walt Disney World has been releasing Theme Park hours on a weekly basis. Check out the Theme Park hours for December: 

  • You can see December 1-5 HERE.
  • December 6-12 can be viewed HERE.
  • December 13-19 can be viewed HERE.
  • December 20-26 can be viewed HERE.
  • December 27-January 2 can be viewed HERE.

It has been great to see that the Park hours have continued to be extended especially for the upcoming holiday season. Guests planning an upcoming trip to Walt Disney World, will experience an early Christmas gift of extended time in ALL 4 of the Walt Disney World Theme Parks.

Extended Park Hours

For Columbus Day weekend, we were excited to hear that Walt Disney World extended the Park Hours at the beginning of the week. I remember the joy of planning a Walt Disney World trip, and discovering a few weeks before our trip that Park hours had been extended.

Guests visiting the Walt Disney World Parks November 13th, 14th, and 15th will enjoy extended hours.

Magic Kingdom’s previous hours were 9AM-9PM, they are now 8AM-9PM

EPCOT’s previous hours were 11AM-10PM, they are now 10AM-10PM

Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ previous hours were 10AM-7PM, they are now 9AM-7PM

Disney’s Animal Kingdom’s previous hours were 8AM-7PM, they are now 7AM-7PM

Guests visiting walt disney world november 13th, 14th, and 15th will enjoy extended hours in all 4 theme parks.

In the past, Park hours had been extended for Disney’s Animal Kingdom, EPCOT, and the Magic Kingdom. This is only the 2nd time that Disney’s Hollywood Studios Park hours have been extended since the phased reopening in July.

This is only the 2nd time Disney’s hollywood Studio’s Park hours have been extended since the reopening.

We are hoping that these extended hours will continued to be seen throughout all 4 of the Walt Disney World Theme Parks. As always, Character Locator has the most updated Park Hours and other great tips including dining and retail locations.
