Excuse us, but how is it already July? Weren’t we celebrating New Year’s Day like yesterday? And now, the year is already half over!
Gertie at Disney’s Hollywood Studios — we love her!
And EVERYTHING is changing at Disney World — we’ve seen the end of temperature checks, mask requirements in most locations, social distancing, and more. And last night marked the return of fireworks to both the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT!
It’s been a busy half of a year, hasn’t it? But looking ahead, we also know that a lot will continue to change: the dining plan will return at some point and Disney World resort guests will soon have access to extra hours at the parks. And for those of you who are planning a Disney World trip in the next few months, we previously shared park hours through early September, but hours are now available for all parks through September 18th!
The Magic Kingdom will be open from 9AM to 9PM every night from September 1st through 18th (except for September 10th, 11th, and 12th) . Note that Boo Bash hours vary during this time.
