This fall, Disney World periodically adjusts its operating hours. This mostly happened on Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party nights. You can see the most recent changes HERE.

When this has occurred, Disney has opened the park earlier on select days, which also allows Walt Disney World Resort Guests even more time in the park if they utilize Early Entry.

Magic Kingdom to Open Early

Magic Kingdom operating hours have changed on two more dates. Magic Kingdom will now open earlier on October 26th and 31st.

On October 26th and 31st, Magic Kingdom will now open at 8:00 am instead of 9:00 am. Early Entry will begin at 7:30 am. These are Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party days.

This will be a great benefit to Guests who are planning to rope drop, as it will give them even more time in Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. We love visiting the Magic Kingdom on party days, as the crowds tend to be lower.

Hollywood Studios Hours Changed

Hollywood Studios will now open at 8:30 am on November 1st. Early Entry will begin for Resort Guest at 8 am.

Hollywood Studios will open at 8:30 am on November 1st. Walt Disney World Resort Guests can enjoy Early Entry beginning at 8 am.
