    We are visiting MK on Friday, 8/30/24, which is labor day weekend and a MNSSHP day. The calendar says park open is 9 am, but every other Friday in August is 8 am park open. What are the odds at this point that park open will change to 8 am last minute?

    Hello Abigail!  Thanks for bringing another great question back to planDisney!

    How exciting that you have a trip coming up to the "Most Magical Place on Earth!"  We love to visit during Halloween Time, nothing makes me happier than seeing all of the pumpkins up and down Main Street, U.S.A.!

    The hours & events calendar is always subject to change, so I would keep checking as your visit gets closer.  It does appear that starting on Saturday, August 24, Magic Kingdom Park consistently opens at 9:00 AM for all of the days following including Friday, August 30.  In my experience, the park hours on the calendar have been consistent without much change, but I highly recommend checking all the way up to the day before you visit!  We always try to arrive to the parks early, even before the gates are scheduled to open to take advantage of the lower crowds first thing in the morning.  

    I highly recommend exploring the Disney Parks Blog prior to your visit, especially the foodie guides since the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival will begin on August 29 during your trip!  If you love to taste your way around the world, then this delicious celebration should be on your list to experience!  The Disney Parks Blog is a wonderful resource no matter what Disney destination you're headed to.  

    I hope this information is helpful for your upcoming trip, Abigail!  Please come back to planDisney if we can help with any other questions.

    Have a magical day!
