Hi there, Joyce! Welcome to planDisney.
Your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation is less than a month away! I know that when my magical countdown can be measured in weeks instead of months I can barely contain my excitement, so I completely understand your desire to know exactly how much time you will have to spend in the theme parks.
According to the
Hours and Events Calendar, it appears that during the week of your arrival Disney's Animal Kingdom will be closing at 6 PM while Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios will remain open until 9 PM. Of course, these times are subject to change, so I would definitely keep checking the calendar for adjustments as your trip approaches. You can also check theme park hours by date in the
My Disney Experience mobile app if that is more convenient for you.
If you were hoping for a bit of extra time to make magic, guests staying at
participating hotels have access to theme park entry 30 minutes before other guests to maximize their day. The calendar also indicates that
Disney After Hours is scheduled for select parks during your vacation. While this is a separately ticketed event from theme park entry, it does provide additional hours in the theme parks with less crowds. I also love that entry to the event includes select drinks and snacks! Because guests can enter the park of their After Hours event at 7 PM, you could enjoy a full day at Animal Kingdom before popping over to get a head start on your evening!
I hope you found this information helpful, Joyce. Feel free to
drop back by with a question any time!
Cheers to 2024,
Lizzie
