Guests from all over the world visit the Disney Parks each year and crowd attendance has begun to pick back up to levels that we haven’t seen since pre-pandemic times recently.
Disney World just saw Park Reservations sell out for several days during President’s Week and, now, it is preparing for massive spring break crowds to make their way to Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and EPCOT.
According to the Disney website, all four Disney Parks have now extended their hours for the week of March 20 through March 26.
Magic Kingdom will keep its opening time of 9:00 a.m. but will now be closing at 11:00 p.m. every day except Monday, March 21. On March 21, Magic Kingdom will close at 10:00 p.m.
We previously reported that EPCOT would be moving up its opening time to 8:30 a.m. and will close at 9:00 p.m., as normal. Disney’s Hollywood Studios will now open at 8:30 a.m. and will close at 9:00 p.m. Early entry for both Disney Parks will be at 8:00 a.m.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom will extend its hours both in the morning and in the evening. The Disney Park will now open at 7:30 a.m. and close at 8:30 p.m. each night. Early entry will be at 7:00 a.m.

The week before, March 13 through March 19 is beginning to fill up with Park Reservations. Both Monday, March 14 and Thursday, March 17 have no Disney Parks remaining. The other days during this week, with the exception of March 19, already have certainly Parks full, as well.
