UPDATED June 22, 2026
August offers another month to experience add more about Cool KIDS’ Summer in Disney World. But, surprise! August also heralds in the beginning of AUTUMN to Walt Disney World (albeit, a little early 😉 ) with the arrival of fall decorations on Magic Kingdom’s Main Street, U.S.A. in preparation for the park’s Halloween celebration: Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party*! Additionally, the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival often kicks off in August.
*PLEASE BE AWARE: There are several dates starting in mid-August when Magic Kingdom closes early to accommodate this extra-ticket seasonal event.
Magic Kingdom in August
Want to know how many theme park hours you’ll have in August to experience all the fun? If so, there’s something you’ll want to know: park hours for all four Walt Disney World theme parks — Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom — are released a few months in advance. Additionally, once posted, theme park hours are subject to change, and often are not finalized until around 2-3 weeks ahead of time.
And THAT’S why we’re here to help YOU track ’em! We continually update our park hours pages with the latest information for your planning purposes.
Below, please find the hours for the Walt Disney World theme parks and water parks for August 2026:
