Disney World EXTENDS Park Hours for February and March

While open-to-close Disney World days are TOUGH on the body (and sometimes the mind, let’s be honest), you at least know you’ve 100% gotten your money’s worth.

However, some people choose to have split days, where they spend the morning and early afternoon at their hotel or relaxing, and then head into a park later in the day to enjoy the evening. This is significantly easier when the parks are open later, and if that’s what you were looking for over the next two months, we have great news — Disney has extended their park hours in three parks on certain days in February and March!
