New Disney World Hours for Select dates in April and June


For a stress-free Disney or Universal Studios vacation, let the FREE expert planners at Royal Carriage Vacations take care of every detail including dining reservations, applying discounts, and onboard cruise credit.


Are you visiting Walt Disney World in June or April? We have new theme park hours for June and extended hours for select dates in April.

Extended Park Hours

Lately, Walt Disney World has been in the habit of extending park hours to accommodate higher crowd levels. This is good news for guests with trips booked!

The new hours allow you to spend more time riding your favorite rides and eating your favorite snacks! This is especially helpful if you like midday breaks, enjoy the perks of being a theme park night owl, or want to take full advantage of Park Hopping.

Here are the latest Extended hours and dates of extension for April 2021.

Magic Kingdom: April 18-24 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM (Originally 9:00 AM-6:00 PM)

EPCOT: April 18-24 11:00 AM-11:00 PM (Originally 11:00 AM- 7:00 PM)

Disney’s Hollywood Studios: April 18-24 9:00 AM-8:00 PM (Originally 10:00 AM-7:00 PM)

Animal Kingdom: April 18-24 8:00 AM-8:00 PM (Originally 9:00 AM-5:00 PM)

That’s 4 extra hours at Magic Kingdom, 4 hours at EPCOT, 2 hours at Hollywood Studios, and 4 hours at Animal Kingdom! Enjoy more magic!

Be sure to check out Character Locator for these updated times and use Kenny’s touring plans to make the most of your time!

Also, if you have been looking for a tough to get dining reservation, you may want to start checking MDE over the next few days. New times might just pop up for the in park locations you have been after!

New 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 June 13-19, 2021.

These are initial hours and will likely be extended in the future.This summer will likely be busier than last summer when the parks reopened to extremely limited capacity. Hopefully, we will see these amazing spring park hours continue as we enter June, July, and August.

As it stands, the posted hours for June 13-19, 2021 are:

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!
