Walt Disney World extends hours for several of its theme parks during the holidays beginning in November 2020.

In early September, the Walt Disney World Resort cut back hours at all four of its theme parks. However, as the Resort preps for holiday guests, hours are being extended once again.

Beginning November 6, Disney theme parks will start hosting longer hours. The Magic Kingdom kicks off its holiday season on that same day and will close at 7PM daily. While not all December hours have been posted, we can now see through the first part of the month. Depending on demand, guests could see hours increase again closer to Christmas and New Years. However, Disney still must follow guidelines and keep its theme parks at reduced capacity.

Furthermore, EPCOT and Hollywood Studios all have extended hours starting in November. EPCOT will close at 7PM during the week and 8PM on the weekends. Disney’s Hollywood Studios will close at 7PM daily. Furthermore, EPCOT won’t open again until 12PM on the weekends (Friday and Saturday evenings).

The lighting of Cinderella Castle needs darker hours in the evening. Florida sets its clocks back for the end Day Light Saving, which will help with increased dark time hours in the parks. Keep in mind that all hours are subject to change.
