Disney’s Hollywood Studios will close early on Tuesday, October 20, 2026 for a private event.

Hollywood Studios Closing Early

Disney's Hollywood Studios will close early on Tuesday, October 20 for a private event.

We first reported on the early closure in August. The park will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with early entry for Walt Disney World hotel guests beginning at 8:30 a.m.

The early closure is for a park buyout by the Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo 2026. The conference will take over the park from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Tuesday.

Other Walt Disney World theme parks will still be open late for guests to enjoy. Here are all of the park hours:

  • Magic Kingdom — 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.
  • EPCOT — 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
  • Disney’s Animal Kingdom — 8 a.m. 6 p.m.

Early entry begins a half hour before opening at all the parks. Animal Kingdom also has extended evening hours until 8 p.m. for select hotel guests.

Does this early closure affect your travel plans? Let us know on social media.
