Summer Park Hours

[Princess Sleepy]

We will be making our first trip to DLR 7/1-7/3. I know the official hours will not be up for a couple of months yet, but can anyone give me an idea of what to expect for both parks? I am wondering about open and close times and also parades, fireworks, F!, and WoC. I know it is pretty consistent from year to year at WDW, so I thought maybe people with past experience could help me out. I know I will have to plan my heart out to tour that week.

Summer hours are usually
DL - 8a to midnight

DCA- 10a to 10p

I suspect DCA will list a closing time of an hour later and probably an hour earlier for this summer.

With Cars Land opening, DCA will likely have longer hours this summer. It looks like DL and DCA will both be opening at 8:00am in July.

It's Disney, so the schedule is always subject to change, but here's what the DL web-site says: http://disneyland.disney.go.com/plan/tips/when-to-visit/

July

Summer hours are now being observed and the Parks stay open later. This — plus
additional showtimes — gives Guests more time to catch favorite nighttime
extravaganzas like World of Color!

Average Temperature Range: 62 to 84°F

Typical July Hours (subject to change):

Disneyland Park
- Opens 8:00 a.m.
- Closes 12 midnight

Disney California Adventure Park
- Opens 8:00 a.m.
- Closes 11:00 p.m.

Check Park Hours up to 6 weeks before your visit for exact times.

... and also parades, fireworks, F!, and WoC....

The official calendar should be out 6 weeks prior, but here are the times from last year: http://www.wdwinfo.com/disneyland/park-hours.cfm?month=7&year=2011

Mickey's Soundsational Parade: 4:00pm & 6:30pm
Fantasmic!: 9:00pm & 10:30pm
Fireworks: 9:30pm
World Of Color at 9:00pm & 10:15pm
