Our Kenny the Pirate writing team updates you with the latest news on Disney’s theme parks. The park hours initially provided by Disney can help you prepare for your visit, but they often change as the dates get closer.

And if you’re staying at a Disney Resort, take advantage of the extra 30 minutes each morning to enter the parks with the early entry benefit. Take a look at previously extended hours announced HERE.

As the season shifts from fall to all things Christmas, there are several operational changes that will affect all 4 Walt Disney World Theme Parks.

Magic Kingdom Park Hours Extended

New: Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party Dates

We are in the final countdown for Halloween, and soon, Magic Kingdom will welcome guests to a winter wonderland with the start of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. Walt Disney World often adjusts operating hours based on crowd attendance. Magic Kingdom now offers additional operating hours on 2 select dates this fall.

On both November 7th and 8th, the Magic Kingdom will open at 8:00 am on these dates with Early Entry at 7:30 am.

Previously, Magic Kingdom was set to close at 10:00 pm on November 8, 2025, but now the Park will stay open until 11:00 pm.

Extended Evening Hours

Guests staying at Deluxe and Deluxe Villa Resorts can experience the parks at night after everyone else has left. We do love extra time to enjoy Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but this park offers fewer attractions for Extended Evening Hours compared to Magic Kingdom.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios will open early on November 2nd and 8th, opening at 8:30 am for all guests and offering Early Entry at 8:00 am for Walt Disney World Resort guests.

Late in November, EPCOT will offer later hours for all guests. Be sure to check out these changes HERE.
