The start of the holiday season in Disney World is just around the corner and it’s time to get planning!
The holiday season officially starts in Disney World on November 12th. This year you’ll be able to hop over to Magic Kingdom for Disney Very Merriest After Hours Event. This holiday season you’ll also get the chance to enjoy holiday parades and more! Disney World had previously released hours through early November. Now, they’ve park hours through November 16th, giving us a glimpse into just how much time you’ll get to spend in the parks during the early part of the holiday season.
Starting with Magic Kingdom, you’ll notice on days with a Very Merriest After Hours party, the park will generally close an hour early, at 8:00 PM. Otherwise, Magic Kingdom’s hours will generally be 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
EPCOT’s hours will generally be 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM from November 7th through the 16th, except for the 7th when the park will be open from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
Note that during the first few days of November, EPCOT will be open from 10AM to 10PM. But, the park is set to open a bit later (at 11AM) starting on November 7th. This may change in the future though, so we’ll be on the lookout for more updates. For the time being, be sure to keep that later opening time starting on November 7th in mind as you plan your trip.
The hours at Hollywood Studios will be 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
Finally, Animal Kingdom’s hours will be 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
Disney Springs will be open from 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM most days from November 10th through the 15th, except it will stay open until 11:30 PM on the 12th and 13th.
Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park will be open from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM each day from the 10th through the 15th.
We’ll continue to keep an eye out for more updates on the park hours and we’ll let you know what we find. Stay tuned for all the latest Disney news.
