WDW Thanksgiving Hours Update

Looks like Disney is expanding some park hours over Thanksgiving Week:

Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom will both open at 8:00am instead of 9:00am, and any early openings for Disney Resort Guests that week at either of those two parks will begin at 7:00am instead of 8:00.

I can't say I'm too surprised. Thanksgiving is easily in the top five busiest weeks in terms of visitors, with the week(s) of Christmas and New Years easily being #1. Even when my family went to Disney World in 2001, a little over two months after 9/11, the place was packed.

For anyone going to WDW over Thanksgiving, enjoy the extra hours! (If you are morning people)
