Disney World Park Hours EXTENDED in February and March

Updated on February 13th, 2025.

February and March have become two of the busiest months on the Walt Disney World calendar in recent years, and 2025 is no different. February sees cheerleading competitions, the final days of EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts, and the President’s Day Holiday (which coincides with a midwinter break for many school kids) while March features the start of EPCOT’s International Flower & Garden Festival (it’s always festival season now) and the start of some school districts’ spring break holidays.
