We’ve been keeping a close eye on the Disney World park hours, especially as the 2020 holiday season approaches!
In recent months, Disney has occasionally extended park operating hours on select dates, especially surrounding holidays — including Halloween. And now, park hours have been extended on a handful of dates this holiday season!
The hours for all four parks have now been extended for the dates surrounding Christmas.
The operating hours for Magic Kingdom have been extended from the previously announced 9AM-8PM to 8AM-10PM on December 20th-December 30th.
The operating hours for EPCOT have been extended from the previously announced 12PM-8PM to 10AM-9PM on December 20th-December 30th.
The operating hours for Disney’s Hollywood Studios have been extended from the previously announced 10AM-7PM to 9AM-8PM on December 20th-December 30th.
And finally, the operating hours for Disney’s Animal Kingdom have been extended from the previously announced 9AM-5PM to 7AM-7PM on December 20th-December 30th.
We’ll continue to keep an eye on the operating hours for the parks as the holiday season approaches, so stay tuned for additional updates!
