Disney World did something very rare–it changed Evening Extra Magic Hours at Disney’s Hollywood Studios from Monday to Sunday many dates from early September through mid-November.
As a result, those Sundays are now lousy days to go to the Studios, and below are the suggested changes to the FastPass+ Lower Crowd Itinerary and To-Do List for the entire period–the new changes, the changes that already existed, and weeks where no changes are need:
- For an August 30, 2014 arrival date swap Tuesday and Second Saturday, and also Monday and Thursday
- For a September 6 arrival date—no changes
- For September 13 through October 4 arrival dates swap First Sunday and Tuesday
- For an October 11 arrival date swap Tuesday and Thursday
- For October 18 through November 1 arrival dates swap first Sunday and Tuesday
- For a November 8 arrival date–no changes
- For a November 15 arrival date swap the first Sunday and Tuesday, and also Monday and Thursday
If you’ve made dining reservations that you can’t re-do, the “Sunday-Tuesday” swaps can be left ignored. Just expect to be able to complete less at Hollywood Studios on Sunday, and as a result to perhaps need to arrive there earlier on Thursday to catch what you missed.

Thank you Dave, the itineraries are helpful. I believe we would opt for different choices than the character meals I’m not sure what these are but I expect it is where kids can meet the characters. One of the areas I would like help with is which resort, probably in the moderate level, would be a good choice for 2 adults?
Hi AW, see this answer to a very similar question: http://yourfirstvisit.net/planning-your-first-family-trip/basic-itinerary/alternative-itineraries/#comment-494030
Shari, I’m forecasting there will be a MVMCP that night–see http://yourfirstvisit.net/2014/04/13/mickeys-very-merry-christmas-party-mvmcp-in-2014/
Dave,
Why do you suppose MK is closing at 7pm on Monday November 17th with no MVMCP scheduled? It would seem odd that there would be no nighttime entertainment and a 7pm closing at MK and no other parks having EMH in the evening. Do you think they might add a party here or extend MK hours?
