Universal Orlando Keeps Holiday Season Hours Short at Legacy Parks

Overview

• Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure list early closings on most dates, typically around 7 p.m. and in some cases at 6 p.m.
• The shortened schedule remains in place after Halloween Horror Nights concluded, indicating the cuts are not tied to that event.
• Reduced evening access curtails Grinch meet-and-greets and the nighttime holiday ambiance many guests expect.
• Later operating hours of roughly 10 p.m. are confined to two brief periods: the week before Thanksgiving and the week of Christmas.
• Fans are expressing frustration on social media, and Epic Universe’s generally later hours do not substitute for the classic holiday experience in the original parks.
