If you’re heading to Disney World in April, you’ll now have a bit more time to enjoy the Taste of EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, your favorite rides in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and more at all of the parks.
We’ve seen Disney extend park hours for quite a few days in early April. But, now they’ve done it again for more days in the month.
Previously, Disney extended the park hours for various days in April, through April 10th. Now, hours at all 4 parks have also been extended from April 11th through April 17th! Let’s take a look.
Magic Kingdom
Over at Magic Kingdom, the park was set to be open from April 11th through the 17th from 9AM to 6PM. That has changed and the park will now be open those days from 8AM to 9PM.
You can see that these are the same extended hours as the week before. The following 2 weeks (the week of April 18th and the week of April 25th) still show those 9AM to 6PM hours for the time being though.
EPCOT
Over at EPCOT, the park was set to be open from 11AM to 7PM from April 11th through the 17th. Now, those hours have been extended and the park will be open those days from 11AM to 11PM.
You can see that the park will also be open for those 11AM to 11PM hours the week before. But, the following week — the week of April 18th — the park is currently still scheduled to only be open from 11AM to 7PM.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the park will now be open from April 11th through the 17th from 9AM to 8PM. Previously, the park was set to be open on those days from 10AM to 7PM.
Again, you can see that Hollywood Studios shows those extended 9AM to 8PM hours during the week of April 4th as well. But, the shortened 10AM to 7PM hours still appear for the week of April 18th and the week of the 25th.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the park will now be open from April 11th through the 17th from 8AM to 8PM. The park was previously set to be open those days from 9AM to 5PM.
Again, the park has those same 8AM to 8PM extended hours for the week before in April. But, the week of April 18th and the week of April 25th still show the shorter 9AM to 5PM hours for now.
At all of the parks, Park Hopping is still set to begin at 2PM each day.
All of these park hours are subject to change in the future. We’ll keep an eye out for more updates and let you know what we find!
