Since Disney World reopened, we’ve seen park operating hours shortened on certain days and later extended on select days.
If you’re planning to visit Walt Disney World for later in December, we’ve now got an update on what hours the parks will be open during your stay.
Previously, Disney World park hours had only been released through December 12th. Now, the Disney World park hours calendar shows all operating times through December 19th.
