Overview
- On Friday, November 6, Walt Disney World published revised operating hours that add regular‑admission time at Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom for November 22–28, 2026.
- Magic Kingdom saw the largest change with Thanksgiving Day now scheduled from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., plus additional earlier openings or later closings on four other November dates.
- Disney’s Hollywood Studios now opens 30 minutes earlier on November 23 and 24, and Animal Kingdom’s closing time was extended on November 22 and again on November 24, while EPCOT’s hours remain unchanged.
- Several attraction‑level restrictions remain in effect: Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is closed Nov. 2–Dec. 18, Carousel of Progress has been closed since July and will remain shut through Thanksgiving, and Vacation Fun (Mickey Shorts Theater) will close at 3 p.m. on Jollywood Nights dates.
- Guests should check the official Walt Disney World operating calendar or the My Disney Experience app before visiting because separately ticketed events such as Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will force early regular‑guest exits on specified nights and Disney can revise provisional hours at short notice.
