Walt Disney World Extends Park Hours For First Two Weekends In October

We know there have been many changes to Walt Disney World park hours, and, yes, there are even more to report. But, don’t worry, we are here to keep all of the latest park hours organized for you. 

In addition to hours now being listed through Dec. 12, park hours have also been extended for the first two weekends in October.

Hours were only previously posted through Dec. 5 for the 2020 holiday season, but now we have newly posted hours for Dec. 6 through Dec. 12. 

The following hours vary from the typical weekday hours that we’ve been used to since Sept. 8 that are:

• Animal Kingdom — 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• Epcot — 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
• Hollywood Studios — 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
• Magic Kingdom — 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Below are all of the latest hour updates you need to take note of. And, remember, that the weekend of Oct. 9 through Oct. 12 is a holiday weekend.

Animal Kingdom

• Sept. 25-27 — 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
• Oct. 2-4 — 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
• Oct. 9-12 — 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Magic Kingdom

• Sept. 25-27 — 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
• Oct. 2-4 — 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
• Oct. 9-12 — 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
• Nov. 1-5 — 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
• Nov. 6-Dec. 12 — 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

With these new hours, this means guests can actually enjoy the parks after dark, which is definitely a perk since we haven’t really been able to do that due to the shortened park hours that have been in place since WDW reopened.

As always, we will update you on any and all future park hours. For the latest WDW updates, be sure to keep an eye on our WDW reopening page and our 2020 & 2021 vacation planner.
