Things are returning to normal at Disney World. Crowds are returning and SO much is happening with the upcoming 50th-anniversary celebration. On top of that, we’re starting to see more changes with park hours.

Magic Kingdom
At Magic Kingdom, the first week of August has extended its opening hours from 9AM to 8AM. The park closing hours remain the same at 10PM.
