New Park Hours

Disney is releasing theme park hours a little over 60 days in advance. This allows you to see park hours before finalizing and reserving your dining reservations. The next round of hours is for May 30 to June 5. These are initial hours and will likely be extended in the future.

This summer will likely be busier than last summer (the parks were DEAD last July and August) so hopefully we will see these amazing spring park hours continue as we enter June, July, and August.

Magic Kingdom: 9 am to 6 pm

EPCOT: 11 am to 7 pm

Hollywood Studios: 9 am to 7 pm

Animal Kingdom: 9 am to 5 pm

We have been updating the blog, crowd calendars, and Character Locator as new dates are released and park hours are extended. Be sure to stay connected with us via email and on Facebook!
