    I see that WDW park hours up until 12 Dec 2024 are available on the website. I am interested in park hours for the following week. Do you know what the park hours for 16-19 Dec inclusive are or, if not, when these hours will be available? Thanks heaps!

    Hello Magdalena! Visiting the Walt Disney World Resort during the holiday season is so festive! I love the way the park is decorated for Christmastime! Good news! Since you sent your question a few days ago, the hours have been posted for the Disney Parks for December 16 – 19, 2024! 

    On December 16 and December 18, the hours for Magic Kingdom Park are 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Early entry for Guests of Walt Disney World Resort hotels will begin at 8:30. On December 17 and December 19, the hours are 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Early entry for Guests of Walt Disney World Resort hotels begins at 8:30 AM. The park closes early on these dates for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, which requires a special ticket. 

    Over at EPCOT, the hours for December 16 through December 19 are 9:00 AM to 9:30 PM with early entry beginning at 8:30 AM. If you are staying at a Walt Disney World deluxe resort hotel you can take advantage of Extended Evening Hours from 9:30 to 11:30 PM!

    Disney’s Hollywood Studios shows us that December 16 through December 19 hours are posted as 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM with early entry beginning at 8:30 AM.

    And, finally, over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the hours are posted as 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The early entry benefit begins at 7:30 AM. On December 18, Guests of deluxe resort hotels can enjoy extended hours from 6:00 to 8:00 PM.

    Magdalena, here is a PRO TIP for you! Operating hours that are posted this far in advance can typically be considered as “placeholder” hours. The holiday season is a popular time to visit. Hours are usually extended. If you continue to check the park hours, especially once we get close to December, you’ll most likely see that additional hours have been added for Guests to enjoy the parks!

    Dreams do come true!
