Please note that Walt Disney World has reinstated its regular practice of announcing typical hours, while extending the hours the parks are open, based on current park attendance or expected occupancy at Disney hotels as upcoming dates approach.
The announced hours act as the minimum opening and closing times, which can be changed, and historically Disney has extended park hours instead of reducing. Walt Disney World released hours for the holiday season a full 6 months in advance, prior to the parks being closed, and so these hours were originally based on projections from past park attendance.
Keep checking the DVC Shop blog to be updated on Disney’s adjusted park hours, and other Disney Park developments.
