Magic Kingdom Closes EARLY One Day This Month
If there’s one thing to know about Disney World, it’s that park hours are always changing!

Depending on the time of year, special events, and other extenuating circumstances, park hours can sometimes vary from what you might expect.
That’s why it’s always a good idea to keep an eye on those park hours whenever you plan to visit (luckily, the MyDisneyExperience app makes it SUPER easy to do!).

This month, there’s ONE day that Magic Kingdom closes early – and we’ve got all the details. Let’s check it out!
Magic Kingdom Closes Early on January 30th
There’s nothing worse than planning a day at the Most Magical Place on Earth, only to find that the park closes EARLY on the day of your visit! After all, who wants to cut a Disney day short? Short answer: NO ONE.

For that reason, it’s worth noting that Magic Kingdom closes early next week on Thursday, January 30th.

While the park opens as usual at 8AM (and 7:30AM for Disney Resort guests utilizing Early Theme Park Entry), Magic Kingdom will close to guests at 4:30PM.

Obviously, if you have a standard theme park ticket, the early closure is less than ideal.
On the other hand, guests with a Park Hopper ticket can actually use the early closure to their advantage!

In case you missed it, guests who visit Magic Kingdom on the day of an early closure often experience crowd levels that are lighter than usual — meaning shorter wait times for your favorite rides and attractions!

So, if you’re visiting Disney World with a Park Hopper ticket next week, spend the morning of January 30th at Magic Kingdom to enjoy fewer crowds and shorter waits. Then, once Magic Kingdom closes, hop on over to another park to finish out your Disney day!
