Operating, Parade and Fireworks Hours at WDW
NOTE: Walt Disney World now publishes operating hours on its official website approximately six months in advance.
To verify hours prior to your trip, call 1-407-W-DISNEY or visit the official Walt Disney World website HERE.
Operating Hours are seasonal. During peak visiting periods, such as holidays and summertime, the parks are open later. During the time between Christmas and New Year’s, parks will be open the longest. During the spring, the longest hours are generally the week before and after Easter. The weeks preceding these peak periods will have some longer hours. During off-peak times, Animal Kingdom will close as early 5 p.m., other parks may close as early as 7 p.m., except Epcot, which usually closes at 9 p.m. Also, during many special events, such as on evenings of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party or private events, the parks can close as early as 6 or 7 p.m.
