It may seem like it’s harder and harder to find an “off” season at Disney World in terms of crowds, but late January is usually a safer bet if you’re looking for slower days in the parks.
After the holiday season and Walt Disney World Marathon weekend winds down, you can look to Disney World’s park hours and Park Pass Reservation availability to see that now may be a good week to visit!
Disney World Park Hours the Week of January 23rd
Magic Kingdom will be open next week from 9AM-9PM on Sunday and Thursday, from 9AM-10PM on Monday, Friday, and Saturday, from 9AM-4:30PM (note the earlier closing time!) on Tuesday, and from 9PM-8PM on Wednesday. Keep in mind that the park will remain open for two additional hours on Wednesday (8PM-10PM) for guests staying at Disney Deluxe and Deluxe Villa Resorts.
EPCOT will be open from 10AM-9PM daily next week. The park will remain open for two additional hours after park closing on Monday (9PM-11PM) for guests staying at Disney Deluxe and Deluxe Villa Resorts. The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts continues next week, with festival hours the same as the park each day.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be open from 9AM-9PM daily next week.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom will be open from 8AM-8PM on Sunday and Saturday and from 9AM-7PM Monday through Friday — with the one exception being Tuesday, when the park is open from 8AM-7PM.
No matter which park you choose to visit, if you are staying on Disney World property, you can take advantage of Early Theme Park Entry! This perk allows on-property guests to enter the park of their choice each day of the week 30 minutes prior to the posted opening time.
