Welcome back to planDisney, Dara! I see you’re planning a stay at the
Walt Disney World Resort during the most wonderful time of the year; how exciting!
The holiday season at Walt Disney World Resort is truly magical, and it's wonderful that you're planning to visit during this magical time. Regarding
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours at Magic Kingdom Park between December 19th and December 26th, I checked the
current calendar, and it only covers September 30th to October 4th. Unfortunately, I can't provide a definitive answer for your December dates yet. However, historically, Magic Kingdom Park often shifts extended evening hours to another park, like
Disney’s Hollywood Studios, during the fall season. This change accommodates special events like
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. Looking at the Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party calendar, I see that this special ticketed event is being hosted on December 19th and 20th, so maybe a Santa will bring back the extra hours for a night during the remaining portion of your stay.
To stay updated, I recommend regularly checking the
Walt Disney World calendar for the latest schedule. Also, keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for announcements and updates on park hours and special events.
If you have more questions or need help planning your vacation, feel free to return to planDisney anytime.

Wishing you a magical holiday season at The Most Magical Place On Earth!
