Keeping operating hours to a narrower window would seem to be a tool deployed by the managers to keep down costs in the face of slower attendanceOn the rolling calendar, Magic Kingdom is defaulting to a 9 pm closing in October? I could have sworn itās always been 10 pm?
I realize they will just extend to 10 pm or 11 pm but I donāt recall an opening time of 9 pm for MK.

Probably because this past weekend was crazy busy. They are expecting the same crowd levels again because of the annual passholder magnets.Update - Disney has extended the park closing time from 6pm to 7pm at Animal Kingdom on August 23 and 24.
That is fairly common for Fantasmic to be after official closing.15th September seems an anomaly at HS.
Close 9:30pm. Fantasmic 10pm.
Any ideas why? Planning to be there that date.![]()
