If you’re planning a Disney World trip in October, you’ll have a lot to experience!
Halloween will be in full swing, and the 50th Anniversary kicks off on the 1st of the month. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure opens at EPCOT and two new fireworks shows premiere, along with a new daytime show. It’s a LOT to plan for, and now you can help solidify those plans — park hours have been released through most of the month!
Previously, we had access to park hours through about half of the month, but now they’re available all the way through October 30th! First up, Magic Kingdom will be open from 9AM-9PM most days, except for Sunday, Tuesday, and Friday when it closes at 8:30PM for the Disney After Hours Boo Bash.
At EPCOT that week, the park will be open from 10AM-10PM each day, but the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival hours don’t start until 11AM. That means the first hour is the perfect time to knock out some rides!
The schedule is pretty simple for Hollywood Studios, which is open from 9AM-9PM daily. The same goes for Animal Kingdom, with hours from 8AM-7PM.
At Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park, you’ll be able to stop by daily from 11AM-6PM. Disney Springs is open 10AM-11PM Sunday through Thursday, then open until 11:30PM on Friday and Saturday nights.
The hours are the same for both the week of the 17th-23rd and the week of the 24th-30th. Keep in mind that these may change and fluctuate leading up to these dates (we’ve been seeing a lot of that recently!), so stay tuned to DFB for the latest updates!
