Walt Disney World has released park hours through mid November. Take a look at the hours and see how to plan your trip.
Previously Released Hours
Previous hours released were through November 8th. Keep in mind during this time we have Disney’s Very Merriest After Hours events happening and Extended Evening Hours for guests of Disney Deluxe Resorts and other select hotels.
The After Hours Event runs from 9:00PM to 1:00AM, but guests with tickets can enter Magic Kingdom as early as 7:00PM to enjoy more time in the park. Tickets are still widely available for this event. I (Maggie) am curious to see if any event dates sell out as we get closer to November or if the high ticket prices are discouraging guests from attending.
Magic Kingdom
Magic Kingdom will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on November 9th, 11th, 12th and 14th for the After Hours Event. The earlier closing is in preparation for the event.
The park will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on November 10th and 13th. These hours remain the same as previous updates.
Epcot
EPCOT hours remain the same and the park is open from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. from November 9th through the 14th.
Guests can enjoy the new nighttime show, Harmonious at 9:45 p.m. and the International Food and Wine Festival which runs through November 20th.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Hollywood Studios hours remain unchanged from our previous updates. The park will be open from 9:00am to 9:00pm.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park will be open 8:00am to 7:00pm daily through November 14th. This is unchanged from previous updates as well, and we continue to eagerly anticipate evening hours to enjoy Pandora illuminated at night.
Don’t forget to check Character Locator frequently for updated park hours and any news or updates! There are also tried and tested effective touring strategies to help you minimize time spent in lines.
Additional Park Hours
Beyond the four major theme parks, Typhoon Lagoon remains closed, but Blizzard Beach Water Park will be open from 11:00am to 6:00PM daily.
Disney Springs will open at 10:00am from November 9th through 14th. The shopping, dining, and entertainment complex will close at 11:00pm from the 9th through the 11th and on the 14th.
It will close at 11:30 p.m. from the 12th through the 13th.
