Can somebody please give me an idea of park hours in the summer as we have never gone this time of year before.

We are hoping to book for the last week of August (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday). I know from past experience that weekends are very busy but does anybody have experience of weekdays in late August? Thanks:)

Hi,

I just bumped up s similar thread asking the same question. So check the
thread below this one.
 
the last 3 years that i've been to disney were in late august and in my experience the week days can be busy but it can depend on the weather if its a hot day then the parks will be very crowded coz as well as the people there on holiday there are people who get the train from paris to visit for just 1 day. also be aware that buses bacl to the hotels after the fantillusion parade and fireworks are extremely crowded so you have to be prepared to be a bit squashed on that.
 
I would imagine the parks will be busy as it is the bank holiday week & also the last week of the holidays for a lot of schools.

The park hours tend to be Disney park 9am to 11pm & Studios shuts about 7pm.

Extra magic hours means the main park will open 2 hours earlier for Disney hotel guest & AP holders.
 

Thanks :) we will be buying AP's to qualify for EMH and with the late hours we should be fine.
