We would live at Disney World if we could!
Well, some people on our team live in Orlando, but we’re talking INSIDE the Disney parks day in and day out. Like breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the parks, and then going to sleep on the hub grass, trying to tune out the faint sound of the ‘it’s a small world’ animatronics, churning away in the night. Unfortunately, Disney has a problem with people living in the parks, which is understandable, but we want more park time! Sure there’s Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours, but if you’re not staying at a Disney resort, then these aren’t available to you. Well, gather ’round friends, because we just noticed some of the parks changed their hours for February and March, and we’ve got all the details
We made a post a while back talking about theme park hours for the next few months, but some things have shifted, so let’s start with Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom Park Hours:
For the remainder of the month of February and the early part of March, Magic Kingdom park hours are pretty straightforward. On the 25th and 26th, the park will be open from 9AM-10PM. Magic Kingdom will close at 9PM on February 27th-March 4th, but will go back to the 9AM-10PM hours on March 5th.
UPDATE: Magic Kingdom will close late at 11PM from March 6th through March 31st, with March 21st as the only exception (the park closes at 10PM that day!).

Those are all of the changes at Magic Kingdom, so let’s check out what’s different at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park Hours:
For the next few days, Animal Kingdom will be open from 8AM-8PM. That changes on the days of March 2nd-3rd, when the park closes at 7PM. On March 4th and 5th, Animal Kingdom goes back to the 12-hour schedule.
UPDATE: From March 6th to March 30th, Animal Kingdom will be open from 7:30AM to 8:30PM. On March 31st, the park will have slightly shorter hours opening from 7:30AM to 7:30PM.

Those are all of the changes at Animal Kingdom, so let’s check out EPCOT!
EPCOT Park Hours:
UPDATE: Until February 27th, EPCOT will be open from 10AM-9PM each day. However, starting on the 28th, those hours switch to 8:30AM-9PM. It will remain this way until March 31st.

The park will then be open from 8:30AM-9PM from March 27th through the 31st.
Hollywood Studios Park Hours:
UPDATE: Disney’s Hollywood Studios has also had some schedule changes! The park will open early at 8:30AM from March 6th to March 31st.
