Walt Disney World has officially extended hours for the week of Christmas. Originally, the hours listed for each park were surprisingly short for the holidays, but, as of publication, guests will now be able to enjoy the parks for much longer.

These are the latest extended hours for Dec. 20-30:

  • Magic Kingdom: 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. (previously 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.)
  • Epcot: 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. (previously 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.)
  • Hollywood Studios: 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. (previously 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.)
  • Animal Kingdom: 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. (previously 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.)

With the holidays officially kicking off on Nov. 6 and lasting through Dec. 30, it makes sense for hours to be extended at least over Christmas, just like they are for Thanksgiving.

WDW park hours for Dec. 25, 2021

Speaking of hour updates, more January park hours have also been posted. Right now, the hours for Dec. 31 through Jan. 9, 2021 are as follows:

  • Magic Kingdom: 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
  • Epcot: Noon to 8 p.m.
  • Hollywood Studios: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
  • Animal Kingdom: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Seeing as hours were updated for Christmastime, there’s a good chance hours will eventually be extended for New Year’s Eve and possibly even New Year’s Day, but we’ll let you know if or when that happens.

WDW Park Hours for Jan. 9, 2021

As we’ve seen over the past few weeks, parks hours are constantly changing. Make sure you check the calendar (either in My Disney Experience or on the official WDW website) prior to planning or heading to the parks. We will also keep you updated.

I just got back from a five night stay at Coronado Springs and had the best time! Even though I went during the busy season I barely waited in any lines and was able to do everything I wanted!

New “EARidescent” decor coming for the 18-mont New “EARidescent” decor coming for the 18-month long 50th celebration that officially begins on October 1.

Colorful outfits for Mickey and Minnie (do you like them better than the previous confetti version?), embellishments on Cinderella Castle, plus projections on the other park icons have been announced so far.

Was hoping for more, but I suspect they’ll be dripping the info out as they learn more about how things are going safety-wise.

What are your thoughts? Will you be making a trip for the 50th? We will!

Swipe to see all of the announcement pics. ➡️
