    Each of Disney World’s four theme parks will reportedly be open for an extra hour than what was previously scheduled.

    The Magic Kingdom will open at 9 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. Epcot will be open from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m. during this time period as well. Both parks are reportedly closing one hour later than previously scheduled, according to the Disney World website.

    Hollywood Studios will operate from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. and the Animal Kingdom will open at 8 a.m. and close at 5 p.m. (except for Saturday, March 6th, when it will close at 6 p.m.) Both parks are reportedly opening an hour earlier than previously scheduled.

    Disney Springs Christmas Tree Trail Debuts Extended Weekend and Holiday Hours

    It’s official. With Thanksgiving behind us, the holiday season is here. And at Disney Springs, it’s not only here, but bigger and better than ever. That goes for everything from holiday shopping to entertainment, and of course, to the Disney Springs Christmas Tree Trail!

    Now back for its second year, the Tree Trail now boasts 25 Disney-inspired trees, including ten additions featuring iconic characters.

    Wondering what’s new? Peter Pan, Robin Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Pinocchio, Snow White, Dumbo, Fantasia, and Lady and the Tramp now take center stage with trees themed to these beloved stories. There’s also a tree featuring an assortment of ornaments that are all available at the nearby Disney’s Days of Christmas store.

    Here’s a tip…  Look for the featured ornament on ALL the trees, housed inside a special display lantern; most are available for purchase. And one of our favorites—the Disney Springs Tree—showcases the many retail brands on the property – one look reminds me that I can pretty much complete all of my Christmas shopping without leaving property.

    Based on the popularity of this new seasonal staple, hours have been extended an additional hour every Friday and Saturday and also on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The Tree Trail is offered through the holiday season, and will run through January 7, 2018. The updated operating hours are as follows:

    Monday – Thursday: 12 pm to 10 pm
    Friday – Saturday: 10 am to 11 pm
    Sunday: 10 am to 10 pm
    Christmas Eve, 12/24: 10 am to 11 pm
    Christmas Day, 12/25: 10 am to 11 pm
