The Magic Kingdom hours were previously 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on regular days and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party days. Both sets of hours have been adjusted.

The hours for October 3, 4, 6, 10, 11, 14, 15, 17, and 18 have been extended one hour earlier. The park will now open at 8 a.m. on those dates, while still closing at 6 p.m. due to the separately ticketed event.
