Magic Kingdom Will Close Early for Cast Member Special Event

This is a great evening for Cast Members but can be a bit frustrating for guests. Will this affect your trip to Magic Kingdom?

Park Hours

Our Kenny the Pirate writing team shares the latest theme park hours as Disney releases them. We continue to share initial theme park hours. These are a great way to begin preparing for your trip. We want to make sure that you have all the information that you need for your upcoming trip. Check out the most recent update for park hours HERE.

Park hours are a great way to plan which park you would like to plan for each day. Since it appears that Park Reservations will be with us for the unforeseeable future, guests must select which park they choose to visit each day of their trip. Park hours are key to ensure that you can enjoy the most each park has to offer for the days of your vacation.

Cast Member Event

Taking place at Walt Disney Parks and Resorts around the globe, Service Celebrations are festivities honoring cast members with milestone anniversaries.  This starts with cast members having 10 years of service. 

At Walt Disney World Resort, Service Celebrations date as far back as the early 1970s. This is a night where honorees gather with their loved ones to celebrate their accomplishments.

This is truly a magical evening for these Cast Members that create so much magic for guests every single day. This event does take place at the Magic Kingdom, which means that the Magic Kingdom will be set to close early on January 29, 2024.

The Cast Members Service Celebrations event will take place at the Magic Kingdom on January 29, 2024.

At this time, park hours are not yet listed for this date, but in the past Magic Kingdom has closed at 4:30 pm for this event in the past. This is still a few months away, but this is something to keep in mind when planning your trips for January 2024.
