Do you have plans to visit Walt Disney World in August? Check out all of the hours and extensions right here.
Park Hours
Almost every week, the Kenny the Pirate writing team shares the latest theme park hours as Disney releases them. These initial hours are a great way to begin preparing for your trip. We want to make sure that you have all the information that you need for your upcoming trip.
Disney World also frequently extends their park hours and adjusts them for crowd levels. Sometimes you can get a little more extra park time!
Extended Hours
We have already seen a few extended hours released for this summer. Check those out HERE and most recent ones HERE. I (Maggie) do not know about you, but more park times means more FUN!
Don’t forget if you are staying at one of the Deluxe Resorts to take advantage of the Extended Evening Hours. You can find the schedule for this benefit through the month of August HERE.
