Disney At It Again... More Changes to July Park Hours!!

June 19, 2010

Magic Kingdom is the park most affected. On many days in July, MK has extended operating times by 1 hour and added an extra showing of the Main Street Electrical Parade. As well, there are a few changes to Extra Magic Hours.

On select nights at Disney's Hollywood Studios, the park has extended operating times by 1 hour and added an extra showing of Fantasmic.

There have been no changes to the operating hours for Epcot and Animal Kingdom.

Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon operating hours are unchanged; however, Disney has added some Extra Magic Hours at the end of July and beginning of August.

Finally, in a funny move, Disney has published January hours for Hollywood Studios, but not the other theme parks. It is probably only a matter of days before we see January hours for the rest of the Walt Disney World Resort.
