Park hours are a great way to plan which park you would like to visit each day. Walt Disney World posts rather standard park hours in advance, and many times we find them extending park hours. This is great news when you are planning your trip to enjoy both an earlier entry and a later park closing.

And if you're staying at a Disney Resort, take advantage of the extra 30 minutes each morning to enter the parks with the early entry benefit. Take a look at previously extended hours announced HERE.

Our Kenny the Pirate writing team updates you with the latest news on Disney's theme parks. Disney's initial park hours can help you prepare for your visit, but they often change as the dates approach.

Previously, Magic Kingdom had extended its operating hours to 11 PM through August 2nd. Magic Kingdom has now extended its operating hours through August.

Magic Kingdom has extended its operating hours through August 30th. Magic Kingdom will open at 9 AM (8:30 AM for Early Entry) and close at 11:00 PM on non-party days.

This is most likely due to Magic Kingdom offering 2 showtimes nightly for "Starlight: Dream the Night Parade".
