Updates to Last Week in May 2012 Disney World Operating Schedule

by josh on May 14, 2012

Disney finally updated the last week in May to go along with June’s update.  Here are the changes:

Sunday May 27:

  • Animal Kingdom hours extended to 8am – 8pm from 9am – 7pm.
  • Hollywood Studios hours extended to 8am – 10pm from 9am – 9pm.  Second Fantasmic added at 10:30pm, in addition to 9pm Fantasmic.
  • Magic Kingdom hours extended to 9am – 12am from 9am – 10pm.  Second Main Street Electrical Parade added at 11pm, in addition to 9pm Parade.

Monday May 28:

  • Animal Kingdom hours extended to 8am – 8pm from 9am – 7pm.
  • Hollywood Studios hours extended to 9am – 10pm from 9am – 9pm.  Second Fantasmic added at 10:30pm, in addition to 9pm Fantasmic.

Tuesday May 29:

  • Hollywood Studios hours extended to 9am – 10pm from 9am – 9pm.  Second Fantasmic added at 10:30pm, in addition to 9pm Fantasmic.
  • Magic Kingdom hours extended to 9am – 11pm from 9am – 10pm.  Second Main Street Electrical Parade added at 11pm, in addition to 9pm Parade.

Wednesday May 30:

  • Hollywood Studios hours extended to 9am – 10pm from 9am – 9pm.  Second Fantasmic added at 10:30pm, in addition to 9pm Fantasmic.

Thursday May 31:

  • Hollywood Studios hours extended to 9am – 10pm from 9am – 9pm.  Second Fantasmic added at 10:30pm, in addition to 9pm Fantasmic.

Overall, it’s in line with what we were expecting.  The one thing that surprises me is that we don’t have longer hours on Memorial Day at Magic Kingdom to help disperse the crowds over a longer period of time.  It may be Disney’s way of pushing people towards Tuesday, because Monday is still looking to be busier than Tuesday or any day until the following Saturday.  The May 2012 Crowd Calendar has been updated to reflect these changes.  June is on tap.
