According to Walt Disney World’s calendar, three of the resort’s theme parks will have extended hours next week, likely due to heavy crowds and demand.

The Magic Kingdom will be open one hour earlier than normal each day of the week at 8:00AM, with Early Entry bumped back an hour to 7:30AM. In addition, the park will be open late as well, closing at 11:00PM on November 25th and 28th (Thanksgiving). The park will still be closing to regular guests at 6:00PM on the 26th, 27th, and 29th for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party events.
