Disney World weather forecast and theme park hours

Every season is a little different at the Walt Disney World resort, which is why it is so important to keep track of the local weather reports as well as the theme park hours at Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios as well as the Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach water parks. Summer hours are typically longer, although fall, winter and springtime are the best times to catch special events like Mickey’s Not so Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom, The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Epcot’s International Food & Wine Festival in the fall and Flower & Garden Festival in the spring.

Orlandoescape.com provides links to the most up to date information on the theme parks’ operating hours as well as the daily Orlando weather forecast and average monthly temperatures. From winter average high temperatures in the low 70s to highs in the 90s throughout the summer, a vacation to Orlando all but guarantees that visitors will get some sun, although it’s always a good idea to check beforehand if that rain poncho might be needed, in addition to the sunscreen. Disney World, of course, is more than happy to sell guests rain ponchos.

The Lands of Magic Kingdom:

• Main Street USA
• Tomorrowland
• Mickey's Toontownfair
• Fantasyland
• Liberty Square
• Frontierland
• Adventureland
