As the summer season continues, Disney World has adjusted their operating hours to accommodate the additional guests looking to enjoy the parks.

While the park hours have been more or less the same for the past several weeks, we just discovered an update on Disney World’s website that shows the parks will actually have their hours EXTENDED in the coming weeks and months.
Over at Magic Kingdom, evening hours have been extended by one hour for the week of August 1st through 9th, 2021. The park will be open that week from 9AM-10PM, as opposed to their previously posted hours of 9AM-9PM.
