Hours in late August?

[Musky]

Can anybody tell me when the parks start closing earlier and opening later? We are planning on going the last two weeks of August, because I thought a lot of kids would be back in school by then and the crowds might be a little more manageable. But if the operating hours are already shorter by then, that would probably outweigh any advantage gained. Do they start closing the parks earlier in late August or do they keep the same hours until September? If they close earlier, I'm going to have to rethink my plans...

TIA,

Musky

We're scheduled to go 8/29 to 9/5 and all the schedules I've seen the parks are closing early (even USO and IOA)! MK closes at 6:00 on weekdays at 8:30 on weekends, EPCOT always has the same hours, 9 to 9, MGM closes at 8:30 (Fantasmic is shown daily if I recall correctly) and AK always closes early because of the animals Hope this helps.

Where did you see the schedule? We are going in July and I looked on the Disney.com website and they didn't have July times up yet. I am trying to figure out if we can see Fantasmic AND Wishes in the same night.

Thanks!
