If you’re headed to Disney World soon, you’re about to get a little more time to enjoy the holidays in the parks.
Disney World has already extended hours for its parks for some dates in November, but we just noticed that Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom are getting an extra hour on select weekends in November AND December.
For EPCOT, the hours have changed from 11AM to 9PM to 11AM to 10PM on the following dates:
- November 29th
- December 4th through 6th
- December 11th through 13th
- December 18th through 19th
Disney’s Animal Kingdom has also had its hours extended from 8AM to 6PM to 8AM to 7PM on the following dates:
- November 29th
- December 4th through 6th
- December 11th through 13th
- December 18th through 19th
Finally, Magic Kingdom is also getting its hours extended from 9AM to 8PM to 9AM to 9PM for the following dates:
- November 29th
- December 4th through 6th
- December 11th through 13th

Despite the changes at the other parks, though, Hollywood Studios is still operating on the same schedule. We’ll continue to keep an eye on all the calendars, though, and let you know if that changes.
