If you’re planning on spending a day or two in Disney’s Hollywood Studios next month, we have some news for you!
Tower of Terror
Disney World previously extended Hollywood Studios’ hours for August, changing closing time from 7PM to 8PM. That extra hour in the park is definitely useful! You have more time for your boarding group to be called for Rise of the Resistance, there are more reservation times available at Oga’s Cantina, and more time to get in line for popular rides like Tower of Terror! And guess what? Disney just extended park hours AGAIN for August in Hollywood Studios!
Hollywood Studios is now open from 9AM to 9PM for most of August! It was previously closing at 8PM and that one extra hour will definitely let you accomplish more in your park day.

The only days that are NOT closing at 9PM, are August 29th, 30th, and 31st. The park still closes at 8PM on those 3 days.

8:00 pm is still way too early to close, especially if you are parking hopping several parks. Those few hours can make a big difference when you are parking hopping. Its not even dark at 8:00 pm, so why do they close so early? I’ll never understand why the amusement parks in Orlando close so early. I understand they are still coming out of Covid restrictions, but they still closed early even before the pandemic.
Out in the West Coast before the pandemic, Disneyland and other amusement parks closed at 10:00 pm at the earliest. During the summer up until 11:00 pm or 12:00 am. They’re open until 9;00 PM/10:00 pm right now, but will staying open later as time goes on.
