Heading to Disney World in 2022? January hours are now up, so be sure to check this post for everything you need to know!

Disney in January

January is a great time to visit Walt Disney World. Guests can experience cooler temperatures and lighter crowds. For the past couple of years, I (Maggie) have enjoyed visiting in January to start off the New Year.

For guests visiting EPCOT, the Festival of the Arts takes place. It is one of my favorite festivals of the year. This year it takes place from January 14th to February 21, 2022. For more details relating to next year’s Festival of the Arts, take a look at this post HERE.

Knowing park hours will help your touring plans for your next trip. The last update we had included hours for January 1 through January 10. Be sure to head over to Character Locator to plan your days out using his touring strategies!

Here are the new hours for January 11 to January 20.

Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom will be open from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm on all days from January 11 to January 20. Remember these are initial hours, and Disney will usually extend them as the dates approach.
