If you’re heading to Disney World for the holidays, you’ll need as much time as possible in the parks to soak in the decorations and try out the tasty treats.

And now you’re in luck, because Disney just extended the opening hours for all FOUR of the Disney World parks for this holiday season!

The Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT all got some extra opening time over the holidays — let’s check out the changes!
