Walt Disney World is still the happiest place on earth. You will just have to fit the same amount of happiness into fewer hours of fun of September. According to the Reporter from Hollywood, Disney’s four Florida theme parks will trim their hours of daily operation, following reopening on July 11 during the quarantine virus quarantine, following the return of smaller crowds amid the state’s ongoing climb in COVID-19 cases .
Per Disney’s website, Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios will soon close an hour earlier, with Epcot shaking two hours early and Animal Kingdom cutting the day at both ends, opening an hour later and closing an hour earlier. The changes will take effect from September 8th.
The change was announced less than a week after Disney announced that the toll billion billion COVID-19 has taken over the company. “Parks, experiences and products revenue for the quarter fell 85 percent to $ 1.0 billion, and the segment’s operating results fell $ 3.7 billion to a loss of $ 2.0 billion,” Disney’s quarterly report released Tuesday , laid out. “Lower operating results for the quarter were due to declines in both domestic and international parks and experience companies and, to a lesser extent, to our licensing and retail companies.”
