Updated Hours
We recently shared updated January Disney World hours HERE, and now we’re happy to share that the Magic Kingdom will be open even later in January.
Disney’s Magic Kingdom will be open even later in January!
From January 14-20, Magic Kingdom’s closing time has been extended. During these dates, Magic Kingdom will close at 10:00 pm, and on the weekend of January 19-20, visitors can enjoy the park until 11:00 pm.
The park’s opening time remains at 9:00 am each morning, allowing Disney Resort guests to enter at 8:30 am for early entry. Additionally, on January 17, Disney Deluxe Resort guests can enjoy Magic Kingdom from 10:00 pm until 12:00 am.
Adjust Your Plans
Disney’s Magic Kingdom is the world’s most famous Disney theme park! With the iconic experiences and characters here, it can also have the largest crowds.
To make the most of your time, you may want to stay later in the evening or rope drop to minimize wait times. And be sure to take advantage of early entry and extended evening hours if you’re staying at a Disney Resort.
Remember that if you utilize early entry or extended theme park hours, this perk is only for Disney Resort guests and will have fewer crowds than regular park hours.
Disney Deluxe Resort guests can enjoy Magic Kingdom from 10:00 pm until 12:00 am on January 17 and arrive 30 minutes before opening every day!
