Happiest Greetings on Earth, Joy! On behalf of all of us, welcome to planDisney. Thank you so much for sharing this question with us today.
I'm glad to hear you're looking forward to a visit to Disneyland Resort early next year. If your family is anything like mine, there's a constant countdown to our next magical adventure! While the theme park operating hours have not yet been released for next February, I can share my experience from my trip last February. We usually travel on a weekend and we noticed that the standard opening time was 8:00 AM for both parks, while
Disney California Adventure Park stayed open until 10:00 PM and
Disneyland Park had lengthier evening hours until 11:00 PM. Again, I'm not able to predict what next year's operating schedule will look like, and you should also keep in mind that weekday schedules may be shorter, but hopefully, this will give you some idea of a baseline.
Another thing to keep in mind is that Guests staying at one of the three
Disneyland Resort hotel properties will have access to an additional 30 minutes of extra time in one theme park per day, prior to regular operating hours. This
Early Entry admission is a special benefit of booking a stay at a Disneyland Resort hotel!
Finally, I want to share where you can find the
Hours & Events Calendar which lists the theme park operating hours, scheduled entertainment, expected refurbishments, and more! You can toggle between seeing a single day at a time, or a 5-day range to compare schedules across both theme parks and the
Downtown Disney District. It is one of my favorite bookmarked web pages because I consult it so frequently as I plan my own family's vacations! You'll notice that the calendars are typically populated up to 6 weeks in advance, so keep an eye on it as you get closer to your planned visit dates to see the schedules listed. Schedules are, of course, subject to change, but it is a great place to start! You can also see this information listed in the official
Disneyland mobile app.
I hope this has been helpful, Joy! If you have other questions that come up as you make some planning decisions, I hope you'll feel welcome to come back to
planDisney and share your questions with us again.
Wishing you Wondrous Journeys,
Tishra
