All four theme parks in Walt Disney World have now reopened to guests.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Since the reopening, we’ve seen a number of changes including changes in certain policies, additions to My Disney Experience, and many more. In fact, we shared with you just a little while ago that park hours would be changing in early September. Now we’ve actually got a peek at what park hours will be a bit further out this year.
Previously, park hours were only available to view on the Disney website through the end of October 2020. But, we checked the website today and were able to see the operating hours for all of the theme parks for the first week of November 2020.

It looks like all four parks will be staying at the reduced hours that will begin on September 8th. Magic Kingdom will be open from 9AM-6PM. EPCOT’s hours will be from 11AM-7PM. Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be open from 10AM-7PM. And the park hours for Disney’s Animal Kingdom will be 9AM-5PM.

So park hopping is not allowed, parks are closing at 5, 6 or 7 pm. I understand wanting to control number of people in the parks, but no park hopping is a deal breaker. A two day trip, hitting all four parks is out. Normal, Please return soon!!!!!
Wow! Epcot is closing at 7! It’s looking more and more that we will pass on our trip this year. This sure makes it easier. I’m not sure December will look much better as far as hours. It’s one thing if we had an AP but it’s expired so to spend so much money on park passes with those decreased hours. No way!
We are so sad. Have been preparing for a triple high school graduation trip the week after thanksgiving. After 2 years of planning and saving and spending money to stay on property and give the kids the best time before the leave the house has been for nothing. Half the stuff is closed, hours are adjusted to way shorter and half the stuff we had planned has been canceled. 🥺 unfortunately the way we got the hotel reservation made them noN refundable so can’t even cancel
I want so much to visit Epcot and Disney Springs either for my birthday early November and/or the Christmas holidays/festival. Maybe if everyone else who want all or nothing keep cancelling, I might be able to do it.
What time do you actually get into hollywood studios to shop before rides open?
I agree! I wish park hours, events and festivities would all return to normal!!
Will park hopping be back after the Corona virus is under control?
Essie, Disney has indicated Park Hopping will return.
I just received an update indicating all parks will have extended hours on Nov 1 and Epcot extended hours into the first week in November.
