    As we head through the year and into the Spring we will naturally see the parks at Walt Disney World either opening later into the evening or earlier in the morning. We reported last week that according to the Walt Disney World calendar these extended hours would begin in February. 

    We are now aware that further hours have been added to opening times on certain days in February to help with the increasing crowds the parks are seeing.

    The Magic Kingdom has been closing at 9:00PM but it is listed on the Walt Disney World calendar that the park will be closing an hour later at 10:00PM on a number of nights during February including:

    • Feb 5 – 7
    • Feb 12 -14
    • Feb 17 – 26

    With Magic Kingdom closing an hour later on February 21, Extended evening hours for Deluxe Resort guests will be from 10:00PM-12:00AM.
