Hi Christine! I believe you might be at
Walt Disney World Resort as I type your answer. I know you must be having a magical time on your vacation!
This is a great question! Theme park hours vary throughout the year and can change based on the season and time of year. For instance, the theme parks may close early for special events beginning at the end of August and may stay open a little later during the summer months when there are many Guests vacationing at Walt Disney World Resort.
My family loves how the theme park hours vary because it helps us maximize our time in the theme parks, or gives us time to visit
Disney Springs,
Disney's BoardWalk, or any of the other fabulous things to do outside of the theme parks.
Are you staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel? If so, make sure you take note of
Extra Magic Hours while you are there. Guests at select hotels have the opportunity to enjoy extra time in one of the theme parks either before the theme park opens or after it closes. During Extra Magic Hours, you can visit select attractions, typically with shorter wait times. It's a great way to maximize your time while at Walt Disney World Resort!
There is so much to see and do while at Walt Disney World Resort and having the theme parks close at staggered times will help you get the most out of your vacation.
Thanks so much for sharing your question with the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Have a magical vacation!!
