Chance Parks Open Late in October 2021? (Excluding After Hours Boo Bash)

Hi all,

I've been watching the Park Hours updates on the Disney World site. So far in October 2021, it seems like the latest a park (Magic Kingdom) will be open for general ticket admission is 9:00 PM EST.

Would anyone venture an educated guess as to whether the hours might increase for the parks as we get closer? Even for dates that have already had their park hours announced?

A few years ago (I know it's not an apples-to-apples comparison due to the shut down), but Magic Kingdom was open until 12AM on at least one of my trips, and 11PM on another. I "think" hours for other parks were later too (?).

Thanks for your responses!

I know it's advanced guessing really...but was wondering if anyone might have some input?

Over the last 2 months in the parks, has anyone noticed if the park closing times increased at all vs. what they originally listed? I'm wondering if the hours might be prone to changing as one gets closer to the actual attending date?

Historically pre-Covid park hours actually decreased overall as it gets closer to the off-season. There were holiday increases for Jersey week and Thanksgiving depending on bookings, but most days saw a reduction in hours over the Summertime hours.
