Disney World Breaks Trend with New Park Hours
Several dates are now affected due to special ticketed events. Plan ahead to enjoy the most magic during your next Walt Disney World Trip.
Disney World Park Hours
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 the Walt Disney World Theme Parks.
Magic Kingdom Park Hours
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 and will often open Magic Kingdom early on Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party nights.
Magic Kingdom will open early on November 10th, 11th, 14th, and 15th. The Magic Kingdom will open at 8:00 am on these dates with Early Entry at 7:30 am.
Interestingly, Magic Kingdom will not open early on November 13, 2025, although this is also a Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party night. On the 15th, Magic Kingdom will open early, even though this is not a Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party night.
Hollywood Studios and EPCOT Park Hours
Disney's Hollywood Studios will open early on November 15th, opening at 8:30 am for all guests and offering Early Entry at 8:00 am for Walt Disney World Resort guests.
Walt Disney World adjusts operating hours for 4 more fall dates.
Late in November, EPCOT will offer later hours for all guests. Be sure to check out these changes HERE.
