Disney's Animal Kingdom
It looks like Disney is not anticipating large crowds at Disney's Animal Kingdom and have only extended hours on a few dates this holiday season
- December 25 – Park opening changed to 8:00 AM (Previously 9:00 AM)
- December 31 – Park opening changed to 7:00 AM (Previously 9:00 AM)
- January 18 – Park closing extended to 9:00 PM (Previously 8:00 PM)
As of right now there are no operating hours changes scheduled for Epcot, but that could change in the near future.
Though the current hour changes only last through the holiday season, it will be interesting to see if crowd levels grow the way Disney is expecting them to not only over the next few weeks, but into the traditional "slow" season, when guest levels are typically lower (but traffic from local passholders is higher). Either way, it looks like guests are going to have some extra time at Walt Disney World over the next few weeks, as long as they don't mind rising early or staying up late!
