Disney World Extends Park Hours for the Holidays

The holidays at Walt Disney World begin November 6 this year. This year won’t be quite the same as previous years, however, there will still be lots of holiday magic!

One magical bonus guests will receive is extra time in the parks! Right now park hours for Magic Kingdom are 9 am to 6 pm most days between now and November 6. Beginning November 6, park hours will be extended and Magic Kingdom will close at 7 pm instead of 6 pm.

Over at Epcot the park hours will not be extended but they will be adjusted. The park is currently open from 11 am to 7 pm most days now through November 26. Starting November 27, park hours will be shifted to 12 pm to 8 pm. That is also the first day of the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays.


Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios park hours have remained unchanged so far. Park hours are currently available for all Disney World parks through December 5, 2020.
