2021 is almost here!
With EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts, Park Hopping returning, and new attractions coming soon, we’re definitely getting excited to experience next year at Disney World! To help with your planning, we’ve been keeping an eye on the park hours for the early part of the year, and now Disney’s added another week of hours to the online calendar!
At Magic Kingdom, the park hours remain the same throughout the week of February 7th-13th, open from 9AM-6PM each day. These are the same park hours we’ve seen for the first week of February and most of January 2021.
With the Festival of the Arts going on, we’ll see EPCOT open from 11AM-7PM the whole week. This is a pretty early park closing time for festival season, but there’s a possibility that we could see these hours extended in the future.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios will continue their schedule of 10AM-7PM, although as long as the boarding pass system continues the way it is, guests will have to wake up much earlier if they want to ride Rise of the Resistance.
Animal Kingdom will be closing before dinnertime this winter, with park hours from 9AM-5PM.
However, if you’d like to get some dinner after your Animal Kingdom park day, then you can head on over to Disney Springs, which will be open from 10AM-10PM on the weekdays, and 10AM-11PM for the weekend!
Keep in mind that these are only the hours for the week of February 7th-13th, 2021, but we’ll be looking out for more hours to drop at a later time. Stay tuned to DFB for the latest information and tips on how to plan a magical Disney trip!

Yesterday we watched a video by AllEars but not with Molly about there being a Virtual Reality additional feature in the Animal Kingdom. it wasn’t clear exactly what this is going to be and I’d love to know some more details. Is this an ongoing feature? It was mentioned there was going to be improved technology. As I haven’t a clue what I’m talking about I’d be grateful for additional information please.
