If you’re planning a trip to Disney World, you have a lot to look forward to!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind opened up on May 27th (and it’s SO COOL!), EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival will run through part of November, and there’s plenty of Halloween and holiday fun here or on the way. ALL of Disney World’s hours have already been posted through October 25th, so let’s take a look to help you plan your Disney days!
August
Magic Kingdom
Magic Kingdom is open from 9AM to 11PM most nights in August. But there are some exceptions. On August 16th, 19th, 23rd, 26th, and 30th it is only open from 8AM to 6PM. On August 18th, the park also closes a little early — only opening from 9AM to 7PM.
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is offered this month, and on days when the party takes place, Magic Kingdom closes at 6PM. So just keep that in mind. There are also Extended Evening Hours available on select days in the month.
EPCOT
In August, EPCOT is generally open from 8:30AM to 9PM.
Extended Evening Hours are available in this park on select nights.
Animal Kingdom
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is open from 8AM to 8PM through August 28th. On August 29th-31st, the park is open from 8AM to 7PM.
Now let’s move on to Hollywood Studios!
Hollywood Studios
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is going to be open from 8:30 to 9PM throughout August.
This park has only had 1 Extended Evening Hours event in the past, but we’ll update you if any more are announced in the future.
Typhoon Lagoon
Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park will be open from 10AM to 7PM every day in August. There will be H2O Glow After Hours events from 8PM to 11PM on August 13th, 20th, and 27th.
Now let’s check out Disney Springs!

Also, note that Magic Kingdom is open from 9AM to 10PM on September 12th and 19th.
Extended Evening hours are on September 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th from 11PM to 1AM.
