Updated on April 7th, 2026

Mother’s Day, graduations, and an abundance of Star Wars appreciation are celebrated at Disney World in May.

May is that interesting “shoulder” season between Spring Break and Summer Vacation where crowds will ebb and flow. And though EPCOT usually takes a break from festivals to prepare for the epic Food and Wine festivities that take place later in the year, you’ll find plenty of Star Wars fun at Hollywood Studios (especially around May the Fourth!).

Some dates in May 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.

Be sure to also keep track of any Extended Evening Hours!

A key part of planning your trip is familiarizing yourself with the park hours during your vacation, so without further ado, let’s take a look at May’s park hours!
