The animals are usually more active in the morning, which is a good reason to get to Animal Kingdom bright and early!

Blizzard Beach

If you’re looking to cool down during those hot summer days, you can head on over to Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park from 11AM to 6PM every day!

If you’re not ready to turn in for the night after a theme park day, you can visit Disney Springs, which is open later than all of the parks! Disney Springs is open from 10AM to 10PM the first week of August. All of these hours mentioned are exactly the same as they are for the last week in July as well.

Those are the only hours we know right now for the month of August, we’ll keep you updated when more times are released!
