New MK, Epcot, DHS, & DAK Park Hours!

Our May trip was cancelled and we rebooked for late summer.
We are willing to accept no fireworks, parades or meet and greets plus wearing a mask. The reduced hours...park open during the hottest part of the day? This may be the deal breaker.

Yes it starts getting super hot about 11:00! It would be better for guest for them to open in late afternoon and close at 10:00 or 11:00.
People could swim during the heat of the day and go to the parks in the evening
 
I suppose the shorter, staggered hours make sense for transportation logistics, but they seem crazy for social distancing. If you have (just throwing it out) 20 000 people in a park and it's open from 9am to 11pm, very few will stay all 14 hours. Lots will come 9-3 or arrive at 12 and stay until 10. It will be most crowded in the afternoon, but other people will be leaving mid day and coming back for the late evening and balance it out somewhat.

With only 9 or 10 hours of park time, you'll have almost all 20 000 crammed into the park from the moment it opens until closing time, and then all stampeding out to crowd the restaurants, pools and shopping areas in between. Makes no sense.
 
FWIW the water parks also have hours listed from July 11th now (10-8), so it looks like water parks (and by that logic resort pools) will be open.

Edit: corrected hours.
 




Forgive me if I don't take rumor as gospel. It's entirely possible these hours may disappear, just stating what's been posted on the site.

The waterpark info was posted on the internal employee website. Disney's website for park hours is notoriously incorrect anyway.
 
Just FYI, new Disney Parks Blog tonight notes NO Extra Magic Hours.

Exact language: Also, please note that upon reopening, Extra Magic Hours will be temporarily suspended.
Don't like seeing that, will really miss night hours on an August trip.
