Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World will close at 6:00?pm on Saturday, August 16, 2025 - three hours earlier than its usual 9:00?pm summer closing time.
While Disney has not provided an official reason, early closures are typically linked to private events or full park buyouts. These events are not open to the public and usually require the park to be cleared in the early evening to prepare for invited guests.
Here’s how operating hours currently look across Walt Disney World for that date:
- Hollywood Studios: 9:00am – 6:00pm
- Magic Kingdom: 9:00am – 10:00pm
- EPCOT: 9:00am – 9:00pm
- Disney's Animal Kingdom: 8:00am – 6:00pm
If you’re planning to visit Hollywood Studios on August 16, arrive early and maximize the earlier part of the day. For guests with Park Hopper tickets, moving to EPCOT or Magic Kingdom in the evening may be a good option.
