Christmas Week Park Hours

[Disneyonmymind]

Does anyone know what to expect for park hours during Christmas Week? The posted hours do not seem to reflect the expected crowd levels....

They are missing that MK had 7am EMH every day of the week.

https://www.wdwmagic.com/calendar.htm -- When I asked this is the only link that was the actual hours for that week. Of course you need to select each park/month to see them all. But it is great!

And for those truly obsessed with knowing what the hours were for their New Year's Day visit in 2009, that site can hook you up.

Someone recently posted last year's times guide here: https://www.disboards.com/threads/p...t-years-hours-attached.3703621/#post-59674969

This year should be similar if not exactly the same.

If this year is similar, I guess my 8am BOG reservation will be worthless in trying to get in an extra spin or two on 7DMT that week.

We were there last year over Christmas. Expect MK to be open from 8am to 12 am, with EMH in the morning every day. Also expect Epcot to be open from 9am to 10pm with WS potentially being open at 9am as well. I think HS was open from 9-9 or so last year as well. Now when they change, could be beginning of December or it could be the week of, just know that it will most likely happen.

The weeks of Christmas and New Years are some of the busiest days of the year, expect park hours to be adjusted significantly as the dates draw closer, historically MKP has been open from 8am to midnight every day that week (with both Morning and Evening EMH sprinkled in on multiple days) and Epcot from 9am to 10pm (BOTH FW and WC), expect closings of 1am or later on NYE at BOTH MKP and Epcot. Be prepared for heavy crowds, long waits, and the possibility of phased park closures due to capacity.

Yes. There is no such thing as a MK PPO ADR during Christmas/NYE week.

Wow! I am so excited to hear that WS will be opening at 9:00.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this was NOT the case last year.

EDIT - Yes, it opened at 11am last year. Per my spreadsheet -- and (more definitively) also the time's guide linked to above by @sharonabe
