If you’re planning a trip to Disney World in June, you’ll want to hear about this change.
This could impact your trip to Hollywood Studios. Here’s everything you need to know.
Hollywood Studios will be closing early on June 18th. Instead of the typical 9 PM closing time, the park gates will shut at 6 PM.
I’m sure your first thought was what special event is happening in the park to make it close so early? Is it an After Hours Event or some other special Disney event happening in the park? And the answer is no!
Hollywood Studios is actually closing down for a private event! The Society of Human Resource Management is holding its annual conference at the park and renting it out from 8 to 11 PM.
While it’s not extremely common, companies and groups can rent out an entire Disney park for a few hours! This early closure will only happen on June 18th. It will not affect the park’s opening hours, which will remain at 9am. This change will also not have any effect on the other Disney Parks.
So, if you’re planning a trip to Disney World this June, we suggest heading to Hollywood Studios any day other than the 18th. You will miss out on three hours of your park day. And since the park will close while it is still light out, they most likely will not run Fantasmic, which is a Studios-must! Plus, you’ll miss out on the beautiful nighttime atmosphere of this park!
If you’re planning a Disney trip this summer, one of the most important things to consider is where you’re going to eat. Specifically, if you’re gonna purchase the Disney Dining Plan. It can feel stressful and overwhelming trying to figure out if it’s the right choice for your family or if it will actually save you money. Which is why we created the Disney Dining Plan Guide! It goes over everything from how it works, which restaurants have the best value, and how to best use your snack credits! If you’re thinking about the Disney Dining Plan, check out our guide to make the whole process simple!
We will let you know if any other early closures hit the parks in the future. Make sure to follow Disney Food Blog so you never miss any important Disney updates!
