Disney needs more cast members, it increases their electric bill (just don’t blow a fuse John), and there are other expenses too.

However, staying open 24/7 has cost implications. Money drives decisions for Disney, which makes sense, they are a business. Why is Disney World Never Closing This Summer?ĭisney is staying open 24/7 this summer to increase revenue. It’s possible Disney extends the 24/7 hours around Christmas as well, which is when there are peak Disney crowd levels. These are the busiest 3 months of the year, which makes the most business sense for Disney. Essentially this experience will last 3 months during the summer. These new summer hours, where Magic Kingdom is open 24/7, begin June 1st and run through September 1st. This will be part of Disney’s mandatory safety checks, which are typically done when the park is closed. But it’s worth noting that occasionally even the most popular rides will shut down for a few hours. This allows them to stay operational all day and night. Disney will prioritize placing cast members at the more popular rides like Space Mountain and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train for example. Some of the less popular rides like the Peoplemover will close for a few hours overnight. Not all restaurants and rides will be open all day long and never close. Enjoy a Dole Whip at 3 AM with Disney’s new 24/7 park hours.
