Disney World just released hours through the third week of November. Check out which parks have changed and how it may affect your trip.
Park Hours before Update
Disney released hours through November 14 here. Now, Disney released hours through November 19. Disney’s Very Merriest After Hours events and Extended Evening Hours for guests of Disney Deluxe Resorts and other select hotels affect November theme park hours.
The After Hours Event runs from 9:00pm to 1:00am, but guests with attending the event can enter Magic Kingdom as early as 7:00pm. Unlike Boo Bash After Hours, Disney’s Very Merriest Christmas After Hours still have tickets available.
We’re (Susan and husband) going to Disney in December and couldn’t justify paying over $250 a ticket!
Magic Kingdom Hours
The Very Merriest After Hours Event begins on November 8th. Please note that Magic Kingdom will be open from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm on November 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 19. This is due to the After Hours Event happening the majority of November evenings.
For evenings in November without extra hours, theme park hours are 9:00am until 9:00pm at Magic Kingdom. So far, this includes the following November dates: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 13, 15, and 17.

However, on November 18, Hollywood Studios closes early. On this day operating hours are 9:00am-7:00pm. Then, on November 19, park hours increase again to 9:00am to 9:00pm.
Animal Kingdom
For the first half of November, Animal Kingdom is open to guests from 8:00am until 7:00pm. Animal Kingdom typically closes early anyway. Disney just released hours through November 19, and there is no change.
Pirate Tip: Get to Animal Kingdom early to avoid the long Flight of Passage lines.
