Do you enjoy closing down the Disney Parks? Check out how long you can enjoy the Disney Parks this summer.
Park Hours Extended
Park hours continue to change as we approach the summer months. We have great news that you can enjoy Walt Disney World even longer in the summer months with both regular park hours being extended and the posted extended hours for select resort guests. Be sure to check out all June park hours HERE.
Extra time in the parks allows many guests to take a much-needed break during the heat of the day to relax at their resort and return to parks refreshed to enjoy the parks at night. Let’s take a look at park hours at each of the parks at Walt Disney World.
