The early shutdown cancels the public Fantasmic! show following a summer trend of private corporate buyouts at Disney parks.

Overview

  • Regular guests at Hollywood Studios can access the park from 8:30 a.m. through 6 p.m. today, earlier than the typical close around 10 p.m.
  • A Special Ticketed Event will run from 8 p.m. to midnight, effectively converting Hollywood Studios into a private buyout after hours.
  • The early closure means there will be no public performance of Fantasmic! tonight, though private-event attendees may have reserved viewing.
  • Other Walt Disney World parks—Magic Kingdom, EPCOT and Animal Kingdom—remain open on their standard schedules.
  • This event continues a pattern of corporate buyouts at Disney parks that prompt guests to alter dining and itinerary plans.
