Well, if you’re headed to Disney World for New Year’s Eve or planning to be there on January 1st, when Park Hopping begins, you’ll want to be up to date on the latest park hours to make sure you plan accordingly.

The updates apply to park hours for January 1st and 2nd.
Previously, Magic Kingdom was set to be open on from 9AM-7PM on January 1st and 2nd, but the Disney calendar is now showing that the park will be open from 8AM-9PM on both days.
