Disney World Extends Theme Park Hours in Late August 2023

Walt Disney World has extended theme park hours in late August at three of the theme parks. Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom are all getting extended hours.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

From August 20 to 26 Disney’s Animal Kingdom will open an hour earlier than previously scheduled. The park will now open at 8 am instead of 9 am. It will still close at 7 pm every night.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

On those same dates, Disney’s Hollywood Studios will open at 8:30 am instead of the previously scheduled 9 am. The park will still close at 9 pm. However, ‘Fantasmic!’ will be performed at 9:30 pm each night.

Magic Kingdom

Only two dates get extended hours at Magic Kingdom. On August 22 and 25 the park will open an hour earlier than scheduled. Magic Kingdom will open at 8 am instead of 9 am. The park will close at 6 pm each of those days due to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.
