Disney World Park Hours for April 2026

Updated: March 10th, 2026

Spring is in the air in April at Disney World!

It’s spring time at Disney!

You’ll find some bigger crowds in April, especially around Springtime Surprise Race weekend. And while you can experience the blooms and beauty of EPCOT’s International Flower and Garden Festival, you can expect some heavier crowds as you are deep into Spring Break territory, now. And though “spooky season” is still several months away, April is when Disney releases some “Half Way to Halloween” treats and ideas to lure you back in the Fall.

Some dates in April offer access to a special ticketed After Hours Event, to spend even MORE time in the parks! If that’s something you may want to add to your vacation, be sure to read all of the details!

Early Theme Park Entry for Disney Resort Hotel guests: 30 minutes prior to park opening for Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
