Theme Park Hours

Our Kenny the Pirate writing team updates you with the latest news on Disney’s theme parks. Disney’s initial park hours can help you prepare for your visit, but they often change as the dates approach.

And if you’re staying at a Disney Resort, take advantage of the extra 30 minutes each morning to enter the parks with the early entry benefit. Take a look at previously extended hours announced HERE.

Disney just extended theme park hours at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Magic Kingdom coming up in February.

Extended Park Hours

It’s hard to see Animal Kingdom lit up at night because it closes so early. That is a real shame because the park is so beautiful at night! Pandora, in particular, is lit up with bioluminescent flora and other effects.

Typically, Disney’s Animal Kingdom closes early to allow time to care for the animals. There is a great chance for guests visiting on February 9th, 14th, and 15th. Park hours are extended from closing at 6:00 pm until now 8:00 pm.

At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Park opening will shift a little earlier for both February 14th and 15th. Early Entry will begin at 8:00 am (previously 8:30 am) and the Park opens for all Guests at 8:30 am. The park continues to close at 9:00 pm.

Magic Kingdom Hours

Get ready to spend more time in “The Most Magical Place on Earth.” On Valentine’s Day, February 14th, Early Entry will begin at 7:30 a.m. (previously 8:30 a.m.), and all Guests can enjoy the Park at 8:00 a.m.

The Magic Kingdom will close at 11:00 pm for 3 dates in February.

On February 9th and 10th, the park closing will extend from 9:00 pm to now 10:00 pm. Guests can enjoy the Magic Kingdom even longer on February 13th, 14th, and 15th, with the Park closing at 11:00 pm (previously closing at 9:00 pm.)
