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.

Andie, I dunno about Universal, but the WDW on-site rental car offering will pick you up at your WDW hotel and drive you to its rental base near MK. That way you can use the rental to get to Universal… See this: http://yourfirstvisit.net/2012/02/28/renting-a-car-at-walt-disney-world/ and also this https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-services/car-rental-services/
Hi Dave, we want to stay in disney for 2 nights 2 parks and then head to Universal on third day…rent caar from there to head to Daytona (we have place to stay there.) Would we look for a pkg/ticket combo for Pop or AofA…park hopper? Best place to rent a car…would they deliver to universal?
DA, I’d go to MK the evening of the 8th for the parade and fireworks–it’ll be crowded
The 9th avoid AK
The 10th avoid HS
The 11th avoid Epcot
The 12th avoid AK
The 13th, if you don’t take the day off, consider AK–you can see the park and still have a break befroe you go to MVMCP.
My family (3 boys 5, 8, and 10) will be at WDW, arriving 5 pm on November 8th and departing noon on Friday, November 14th. We are attending MVMCP on the 13th. We would like to view the Electrical parade. With that in mind, which parks would you recommend for which days? Thanks!
AW–for a couple, Port Orleans French Quarter. For friends, Coronado Springs. Reviews of both are linked to from here: http://yourfirstvisit.net/2010/04/26/walt-disney-world-resort-hotel-reviews/
