I know the Magic Kingdom is usually open until midnight in late summer. Not sure about MGM,Animal Kingdom and Epcot.

Looking at my sheet of 'projected' hours for this coming Aug. (based on last yrs hrs).....MK closing at 8:30 most nights. On 8/16 could be 10:00, on 8/23 could be 9:30. Other parks are...FW, it says closing at 9:00 but I don't believe it, probably around 7. WS..9:00 and Studios around 8:30. It looks like the hours start cutting back at the third week mark. Of course they are...that's when I'm going!!

Would anybody know the possable hrs. for mid July?
That is when we are going and I am trying to plan dinners and all.
We have only been in May, so we have never seen Spectro. I hope we can see it this trip.
We are looking forward to later hrs. We have only seen the parks at night once, because of an e night. It was really beautiful.

I was there and MK was usually midnight Epcot usually 9:00 p.m and MGM around 8:30-9:00 also. Cannot recall AK but it is usually early (7:00 p.m or so) Late summer the closings are much later until September.

The hours for the parks for the last of July, first of August last year were as follows:

Magic Kingdom:
Open to 10pm on Spectro nights and 9pm other nights

EPCOT:
FW open until 7pm and WS open to 9pm

MGM:
Open to 9pm

AK:
Open to 6pm

Hope this helps.

See the historical hours site provided above. MK does not stay open to midnight then and did not last year, year before, etc. It is more in the neighborhood of 8 to 9 for late August. MK has not been open to midnight in late August for over 15 years. The only two times of the year MK may go to midnight are the two Easter weeks and Christmas week. If anyone experienced it being open to midnight last year then my guess is that they went to an e-ticket night when parts of the park remain open 3 hours after closing and those with e-tickets get to stay.

I know what the posted hours say....

But, I can tell you from experience...because I visit every August and have for the last 20+ years...that very often in August MK is indeed open until midnight despite the advertised hours.I am not including E-ride nights. Usually this late closing is on Friday and Saturday nights and the rest of the week is often 10:00 p.m or 11:00 p.m. I am not sure what determines the hours...but we plan our August vacations based on the late night closings offered.

Just my experience......
