Walt Disney World will reduce its park hours for autumn, a normal move amidst a not-so-normal season.<\/p>\n
The Orlando, Fla. theme park traditionally cuts its hours in the fall after a busy summer season, but this is far from a traditional year. After shutting down in March for four months due to the coronavirus epidemic, Disney reopened in mid-July to a new normal. A lack of demand for travel, especially for flying, combined with drastically reducing the number of guests allowed into each park has stifled attendance.<\/p>\n
Like most major companies, Disney is hemorrhaging cash. The company announced earlier this week it has lost $2 billion just from its worldwide theme park business alone. So the cutback in hours also might be a way to slap a band-aid on some of the bleeding.<\/p>\n
According to the blog WDW News Today, the new hours for all four parks are:<\/p>\n
Magic Kingdom: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Previously 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.)<\/p>\n
EPCOT: 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. (Previously 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.)<\/p>\n
Disneys Hollywood Studios: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. (Previously 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.)<\/p>\n
Disneys Animal Kingdom: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Previously 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.)<\/p>\n
Hours at Disney Springs remain unchanged, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.<\/p>\n
The new hours do mean, however, that EPCOT will close two hours earlier even with its annual Taste of Epcot Food & Wine Festival this fall.<\/p>\n
