Park Hours Released Through Early November 2023 for Disney World

If you’re going to Disney World at some point in the next few months, it’s critical that you know WHEN the parks will be open.

Operating hours at the parks can vary a lot depending on the time of year and sometimes hours can CHANGE even during your trip. Today we’re taking a look at ALL of the park hours that have been released through part of 2023!

This post was last updated on August 22nd, 2023 — check back for more updates in the future.

Magic Kingdom

August

In August, Magic Kingdom will generally be open from 9AM to 10PM on days when Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is NOT being offered. When the Halloween Party is offered, however, the park opens a bit earlier (8AM) and closes significantly earlier (at 6PM).

Note that the Halloween Party is a separately ticketed event so you do need to pay for a specific ticket for the Party to attend (your Magic Kingdom park ticket won’t get you into the Party).

September

In September, things are generally similar. The park is typically open from 9AM to 10PM on days when the Halloween Party is NOT offered. It’ll also be open from 8AM to 6PM on September 1st, but then hours shift to 9AM to 6PM on other Halloween Party dates that month.

That continues through the end of the month.

October

In October, it looks like the park is generally open from 9AM to 6PM on nights when the Halloween Party is offered, and 9AM to 10PM on the other nights.

Remember that the Halloween Party IS offered on Halloween day/night so that might impact your plans.

November

November 1st is the last night of the Halloween Party in Magic Kingdom and hours will be 9AM to 6PM.

EPCOT

August

In August, EPCOT is open each day from 9AM to 9PM.
