Walt Disney World Shortens Park Hours Starting Sept. 8 The DIS

UPDATE 08/11/20: Now that the dust has settled and all the changes have been made to the official Walt Disney World website, it appears that Future World will also be closing two hours early, along with World Showcase.

The corrected hours beginning September 8th are:

Magic Kingdom | 9am-6pm
Epcot | 11am-7pm
Hollywood Studios | 10am-7pm
Animal Kingdom | 9am-5pm

This schedule continues through at least the end of October.

UPDATE 8/7/20 8:54PM: Hours for Disney’s Animal Kingdom have been further adjusted to reflect that the park, beginning September 8th, will have operating hours of 9am-5pm.

Walt Disney World has adjusted its theme park hours starting September 8th, closing Epcot’s World Showcase two hours earlier and the rest of the theme parks one hour earlier. There is no change for Future World.

The new park hours as of September 8th are:

Magic Kingdom | 9am – 6pm
EPCOT | Future World 11am-9pm/World Showcase 11am – 7pm
Disney’s Hollywood Studios | 10am – 7pm
Disney’s Animal Kingdom | 8am – 5pm

While changes are still being made to the official Walt Disney World website, it appears the reduced hours will continue into October. We will continue to keep an eye out for any changes.
