After a lengthy closure, Disney World has submitted a proposal for reopening the parks!
Magic Kingdom
Disney World has proposed a reopening date of July 11th for Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom, followed by a reopening date of July 15th for Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Upon reopening, guests will need to make a reservation in order to visit the parks, and some entertainment such as parades, fireworks, and character meet-and-greets will be temporarily suspended.
Now that the proposed reopening dates have been announced, our team pulled up the My Disney Experience app to check on the park hours. We confirmed that park hours prior to July 11th have been removed.

And, while the hours are subject to change, on July 11th, the reopening day hours listed for Magic Kingdom are 9 AM to 7 PM, and the hours for Animal Kingdom are 8 AM to 6 PM.
There is also an Early Morning Magic event at Magic Kingdom still showing on the park schedule from 7:45 AM to 9 AM.

On July 15th, the reopening day hours listed for Epcot are 11 AM to 9 PM, and the hours for Hollywood Studios are 10 AM to 8 PM. July 15th also lists Extra Magic Hours from 7PM to 9PM.

We’ll keep an eye on the park hours in case there are any changes between now and the opening date!

I got an e-mail today from Touring Plans that the park hours for my trip scheduled in Septemeber had changed! I’ll be interested to see if it sticks. It looks like they’ve staggered the opening and closing times of the parks, and most are opening later than usual, except AK, which was opening earlier and closing earlier. I assume this is to accommodate for extra cleaning protocols. I’m looking at the bright side here for me: if these hours stick, that new 10 AM HS opening time might actually give my Pacific Standard Time nightshift working butt an actual shot at getting up in time for that Rise of the Resistance boarding pass!
I live 15 minutes from the parks. Still it sure seems like it is not going to be worth it. Even though I have had an Anual pass since 1987 if going to the park is going to be such a hassle I doubt I will renew until things get back to normal. I used to just go in for a fast pass or two and get some lunch and a walk and enjoy the atmosphere but it looks like that is not going to be possible anymore for a while. I pity the people unaccustomed to the heat here and having to wear a mask all day just to try to get their money’s worth. I will keep watching but the whole thing seems tedious.
