The Kenny the Pirate writing team shares the latest theme park hours as Disney releases them. These initial hours are a great way to begin preparing for your trip. We want to make sure that you have all the information that you need for your upcoming trip. Take a look at early October hours HERE. See Magic Kingdom October extensions HERE.

Disney World also frequently extends their park hours and adjusts them for crowd levels. Sometimes you can get a little more extra park time! Take a look at which hours have changed below.

EPCOT

The first updated hours are for EPCOT. However, don’t get too excited yet. Disney gives park goers an extra 30 minutes each morning from October 17-29. It will now open at 8:30am and close at 9:00pm. Hopefully Disney will expand these hours as it gets closer.
