It seems like Disney World park hours are changing all the time!
Spaceship Earth
Already this month we’ve seen hours shortened for all four parks and the announcement of the extension of hours in November. Plus, some days there’s a little bit of fiddling where a park will (seemingly at random!) end up with an extra hour at the end of the day. Now, some park hours have been extended for next weekend.
According to the official Disney World park hours calendar, EPCOT and Animal Kingdom will close one hour later than usual on September 26th. EPCOT typically closes at 7PM and will be open until 8PM, and Animal Kingdom typically closes at 5PM and will be open until 6PM.

We’re not sure what the reasoning behind this one-day hour shift is, but we do know that Saturdays tend to be the most crowded day of the week for the theme parks.
