The times — they’re a-changin’ in Hollywood Studios!
We’re starting to get used to writing about hours changes in Hollywood Studios. It seems like every week they’re either open earlier or closing later to accommodate crowds for Rise of the Resistance. We’ve seen the hours receive an extension in January and again for February, as well as a change to Extra Magic Hours in March. Well now, March is joining in on the extension on park hours trend with a change to the park close in the first week of the month!
We saw the closing time go from 8 PM to 8:30 PM on March 1st-2nd, and March 4th-6th. For some reason, March 3rd wasn’t included in the change. Maybe they need guests out of the park to prep for the opening of Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway the following morning. Extra Magic Hours on the 1st have also shifted from 8 PM – 10 PM to 8:30 PM to 10:30 PM.
As of right now, the opening times all remain at 9 AM. You can see the previous hours reflected here.
This change does seem rather minor but it is indicative that February won’t be the last month we see more hours in Hollywood Studios. We’ll be sure to keep an eye on the schedule to make sure we let you know of any more changes!
