Disney World Extends Early‑December Hours at Three Parks

Overview

• On Friday, November 13 Disney updated the My Disney Experience calendar to change park hours for November 30 through December 5 at Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom while EPCOT remained 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
• Magic Kingdom received the largest change with earlier openings on December 2 and 5 now at 8:00 a.m., Early Theme Park Entry at 7:30 a.m., and 11:00 p.m. closings on November 30, December 2 and December 5.
• Disney’s Hollywood Studios will open at 8:30 a.m. on December 4 and 5 with Early Theme Park Entry at 8:00 a.m., and regular closing times will stay the same with December 5 closing early for the separately ticketed Jollywood Nights event.
• Animal Kingdom’s closing times were pushed later on December 3–5 to 7:00 p.m. on the 3rd and 4th and 8:00 p.m. on the 5th, and select resort guests can use separate Extended Evening Hours on some early‑winter dates.
• Guests should check My Disney Experience before travel because ticketed holiday parties force early regular‑guest exits on specific nights, some party nights are sold out, Extended Evening Hours apply only to eligible resort guests, and further hour edits are possible as crowd forecasts and maintenance plans evolve.
