All of the Disney World Park Hours You Need to Know For Your Next Trip

You’ve got your hotel booked, your park tickets secured, and it’s almost time for your Walt Disney World vacation! All that’s left to do is plan your park days. But, before you decide what you’re going to be busy with from park opening to close, you need to know what time the park hours. Simple right? Not always.

Disney World park hours are available about 60 days in advance and they can vary a lot. From dates where Magic Kingdom closes early for a special event, to Disney’s Animal Kingdom closing earlier than most, to parks that are completely closed for refurbishment, there’s a lot to keep track of. So, to make planning your park days a little easier, here’s a full list of Disney World park hours in 2024 and everything you need to know about how to get extra time in the parks beyond operating hours!

FAQ

When Are Disney World Park Hours Posted?

Disney World park hours are typically released around 60 days in advance, but it’s important to note that they can change at any time.

Official park hours are posted on the Walt Disney World website (and here at Eat Sleep Disney!) as they are released. When you’re planning your visit, it’s important to check the official park hours as often as possible to ensure that you have the most up-to-date information.

In addition to the official park hours, it’s important to note that there may be special events or seasonal changes that affect the park hours. For example, during the holiday season, the parks may have extended hours to accommodate the increased crowds.

Do Disney World Park Hours Ever Change?

Yes, Disney World park hours can change at any time without notice. This means that the hours listed on the official Walt Disney World website may not be accurate if changes are made after they are posted. It is important to keep this in mind when planning your visit to the parks.

There are several reasons why park hours may change. One reason is due to seasonal fluctuations in attendance. During peak seasons, such as holidays and summer months, the parks may stay open later. On the other hand, during slower seasons, the parks may close earlier.

Another reason for changes in park hours is due to special events and activities. For example, during the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, the park may stay open later to allow guests to enjoy the festival activities. Additionally, during special events such as Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Magic Kingdom may close early for guests who do not have a ticket to the event.

It is important to check the park hours before your visit to ensure that you have the most accurate information. You can check the official Walt Disney World website, as well as the My Disney Experience app, for up-to-date park hours. Additionally, the Cast Members at the parks can provide you with information on any changes to park hours during your visit.

How Does Early Theme Park Entry Work?

Early Theme Park Entry is a benefit offered to guests staying at any Disney World Resort hotel. Unlike Extra Magic Hours (which are no longer offered) where you needed to keep track of when the parks stayed open earlier or later for hotel guests, this perk allows guests to enter any of the theme parks 30 minutes before they officially open to the public any day of the week.

To take advantage of Early Theme Park Entry, you must have a valid theme park ticket and a Disney Resort hotel reservation linked to your My Disney Experience account. When you arrive at the park, look for the designated entrance for Early Theme Park Entry. You will need to show your hotel key card or MagicBand and a valid theme park ticket to gain entry.

During Early Theme Park Entry, select attractions, dining options, and merchandise locations are available. However, not all attractions will be open during this time. We recommend that you check the park schedule to see which attractions will be available during Early Theme Park Entry.

How Do Extended Evening Theme Park Hours Work?

If you’re staying at a Disney Deluxe Resort or Villa, you can enjoy Extended Evening Theme Park Hours at select parks on select nights. This exclusive perk allows you to enjoy two extra hours in the park after the park has closed to day guests. Currently, this benefit is only available on select nights in Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

To take advantage of Extended Evening Theme Park Hours, you’ll need to check the park hours calendar for specific dates and times. Keep in mind that this benefit is subject to availability and is not offered every night.

During Extended Evening Theme Park Hours, you can enjoy select rides and attractions that are open during this time. To make the most of your time, it’s recommended that you plan ahead and prioritize the attractions you want to experience.

It’s important to note that this benefit is only available to guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts and Villas (a.k.a. Disney World’s most expensive luxury hotels). If you’re not staying at one of the hotels that qualifies, you won’t be able to take advantage of Extended Evening Theme Park Hours.

Currently, Extended Evening Theme Park Hours are traditionally offered at Magic Kingdom on Wednesdays and at EPCOT on Mondays. Extended Evening Theme Park Hours are much more limited at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

What Are After Hours Events and When Do They Take Place?

If you’re looking to maximize your time at Disney World, you might want to consider attending one of their After Hours events. These special events allow guests to enjoy select attractions and experiences after normal park hours for an additional cost on top of your park ticket.

Disney After Hours events typically take place at Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT. The events usually start around 9:30PM to 10PM and run until 12:30AM to 1AM. Guests with a ticket can enter the park as early as 7PM to enjoy even more time in the park before the event officially starts without having to purchase a separate theme park ticket for the day.

During After Hours events, you can take advantage of shorter wait times for popular attractions, as well as unique experiences like character meet-and-greets along with specialty food and beverage offerings. It’s a great way to experience the parks in a more relaxed and less-crowded setting.

It’s important to note that After Hours events are separately ticketed and require an additional cost. The ticket prices range from $155 to $175 (plus tax) depending on the park and the date. Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members can often purchase tickets at a discounted rate.

What Are The Park Hours For Special Events Like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party?

If you’re planning to visit Disney World around the time that special events are offered, such as during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party or Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, it’s important to know the park hours. These events are ticketed separately from regular park admission and usually take place in the evening.

Magic Kingdom usually closes to guests who do not have a special event ticket at 7PM, and the events usually run from 7PM to 12AM. If you buy a special event ticket, you can enter the park as early as 4PM without a separate ticket for the day. However, if you want to get into the park earlier than 4PM, you will also need to buy a traditional park ticket in addition to the special event ticket.

It’s important to note that the park hours for these events can vary depending on the date and the event. Be sure to check the official Disney World website or app for the most up-to-date information.

What Is Rope Drop at Disney World?

If you’re planning a trip to Disney World, you may have heard the term “rope drop” being mentioned. Rope drop is the term used to describe the official opening of the park where guests are allowed to enter and start experiencing the attractions.

At Disney World, rope drop happens every morning at all the parks. It’s the time of day when Cast Members officially begin to allow guests onto the attractions and when you can take advantage of some of the shortest lines of the day. The exact time of rope drop varies from park to park, so it’s important to check the park hours before you go.

To make the most of rope drop, aim to get to the parks as early as you can. For example, if Magic Kingdom opens at 9AM, we recommend getting to the park entrance about 30-45 minutes early so that you’re already in the park when the attractions open. This will give you a head start on the crowds and allow you to experience some of the most popular attractions before the lines get too long.

It’s also important to note that rope drop can be very popular, so be prepared for crowds. To avoid the crowds, consider visiting the parks during less busy times of the year or arriving at the park earlier than the recommended time.
