I was wondering how does Disney and Universal decide their daily operating hours for their parks. I know that they may close earlier during the non-peak/non-holiday season but I do notice they may have later operating hours (opened late) during non-peak/non-holiday season. Example, the week of March 2-8, Magic Kingdom is open on 3/7/14 from 9am-1am but as far as I know, it is not any special holiday or peak period. Is that week the beginning of college spring break and that explains the extended operating hours? I was just curious of the whole process.

I think it also has to do with the hours of the other parks. For example, if DHS or AK are closing earlier, maybe they keep the MK open later.

Yes, spring breaks typically start in early March, and can end around mid-April, depending upon when Easter hits during the year.
