With the holiday season quickly approaching and the big 50th Anniversary starting soon, there’s a lot to look forward to in Walt Disney World!

If you’re planning a trip for this August, September, or October, we have an important update for you to be aware of!
Theme park hours have officially been extended in all four parks! Starting in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, hours have been extended on August 15th and 21st. The park will now close at 8PM instead of 7PM.

Guests can also enjoy an extra hour in EPCOT from October 1st to October 9th. EPCOT will close at 10PM where it was previously expected to close at 9PM.

On Sunday, August 15, the Magic Kingdom will operate from 9AM to 10PM, instead of the previously announced 9PM closing time.

Finally, Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be open until 9PM for all of September versus the originally scheduled 8 PM closing time.

These extended park hours give guests more time to get things done around the parks!

Keep in mind that the park hours are always subject to change, and some parks may be open later than the posted time if an After Hours event is taking place at night. Stay tuned to AllEars for more park updates and news!
