Looking to celebrate the holidays in the most magical way possible: with a vacation at Walt Disney World? Well, you may want to take a look at the parks’ hours of operations, which have been a recent topic of discussion given the company’s cutbacks following the COVID-19 pandemic.
The new hours can be seen on the company’s mobile My Disney Experience app and on the company’s official desktop website. The times of operation currently run through December 5 and show longer hours coming to Magic Kingdom and EPCOT with the same hours staying in place at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
