Walt Disney World has extended the operating hours of Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom during the week of Christmas 2023. Walt Disney World previously extended hours for the parks the week before and extended EPCOT hours for New Year’s Eve.
Magic Kingdom
Magic Kingdom will open an hour earlier, at 8:00 a.m., every day from December 24 through 30. Early entry for Walt Disney World Resort hotel guests will begin at 7:30 a.m.
Disney has extended park hours to midnight every night from December 24 through 30, too.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Disney’s Hollywood Studios will now open at 8:30 a.m., with early entry beginning at 8:00 a.m., from December 24 through 30. The park will still close at 9:00 p.m.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Disney’s Animal Kingdom will open at 8:00 a.m. instead of 9:00 a.m. from December 24 through 30, with early entry at 7:30 a.m. Evening hours have been extended to 8:00 p.m. from December 25 (Christmas Day) through 30. The park will still close at 7:00 p.m. on December 24 (Christmas Eve).
Extended evening hours for select resort hotel guests will take place on December 28. Because the park will now close to regular guests at 8:00 p.m., extended evening hours will now last from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Read more about extended evening hours at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
