This could impact your trip to Hollywood Studios. Here’s everything you need to know.
It’s no fun when you visit your favorite theme park only to discover that its hours have changed and you won’t have as much time there as you had hoped. Now, this is something that happens often, which is why we tell you that it’s important to check park hours before your trip so you’re on top of any early closures.
However, we also want to make sure you stay updated on park hours. So if you happen to be planning a trip to Disney World in May and wish to visit Magic Kingdom on May 13th, we’re going to tell you to reconsider your plans. That’s because Magic Kingdom will be closing early that day.
This year’s EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival is going to be AMAZING. We’re really excited to see the festival begin, which happens on March 4th (and it runs through June 1st). The best thing about this festival is the FOOD, and now that we’ve got ALL the food booth menus and prices, we’re already making our list of everything we’re going to try.
However, while we were making our list, we noticed something very peculiar about two of the food booths: their dates. So let’s talk about why this seems…well…odd.
Heading to Disney World this week? First of all, I’m jealous, and secondly, something strange is happening this week that I’ve rarely seen in the parks.
Over in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, park hours are changing pretty drastically for one day this week. If you’re heading to the park this weekend, you need to pay VERY close attention to the park’s closing time, because it’s HOURS earlier than usual.
We have an important EPCOT update for you! The park will be closing early one day in May for a private event, and we don’t want you to be caught by surprise.
The parks sometimes have adjusted hours for special events or buy-outs, so it is always important to check the Disney World website or the My Disney Experience app for the most up-to-date information for your trip.
Sometimes, theme parks in Disney World close early, whether that’s for special events like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party or for other reasons that haven’t been specified by Disney.
Well, today is one of those days in Magic Kingdom, where the park will be closing at 4:30 PM. Now, we usually tell folks to avoid parks on days they close early (because you’ll have to leave early), but we’re seriously thinking about changing our mind on that advice, considering the lack of crowds we’re seeing today at the park. So let’s take a look!
Okay, so you’ve done all your planning for your Disney World trip, and you know where you’re staying, how long you’re staying, what tickets you need, and all that other stuff. Maybe you’re even working on your packing list…or maybe you’ve even started packing.
So what are you forgetting? Well, if you are going to Disney World, there’s one thing a lot of us forget to do when we visit. We often forget to check park hours. Well, if you haven’t checked park hours and you’ll be in Disney World this week…you’ll need to know that Magic Kingdom will be closing a lot earlier on January 30th than normal.
We often tell you to check the Disney World park hours the week leading up to and even every single day of your trip.
Why? Well, because if you’ve booked your trip a year in advance, things may happen between the time you booked your trip and your actual travel dates. In fact, Disney is known to adjust its park hours all the time. Sometimes, it’s due to after-hours testing, or more often, a company may rent out a park for a special event (or the parks can close early for one of Disney’s special events like their Halloween and holiday parties or after-hours events). If you’re heading to EPCOT in October, it’s imperative you know that the park will be closing EARLY one day!
Attention, Disney World visitors! We have an important announcement that may impact your upcoming plans. You’re going to want to hear this, so listen up.

Magic Kingdom
Every once in a while, a Disney World park closes EXTRA early. We’re talking before sunset! Now, if you’re like us and prefer to hit the parks in the late afternoon and evening, an early park closure could seriously throw off your plans — especially if you didn’t pay for a park hopper theme park ticket! Should you AVOID the Magic Kingdom tomorrow, June 21st? Let’s talk about it. [Read more…]
