Early Closure Looms at Disney's Hollywood Studios on October 20
Disney's Hollywood Studios will be closing early on October 20, 2026, at 5:00 PM. This is a rare occurrence for the park, which usually stays open until 9:00 PM or later. The closure is due to a corporate event, specifically the Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo.
The shorter hours will likely affect guests' plans, especially those who were looking forward to seeing Fantasmic! and the nighttime projection shows. However, some visitors may find it an opportunity to visit other parks on that day and take advantage of lower crowds.
Disney's Hollywood Studios is one of the most expensive park tickets at $189, tied with Magic Kingdom for the highest price on October 20. Despite this, guests can still plan their day around the shorter hours and make the most of it.
