The park operating hours for Disneyland and California Adventure have been released for September 2010. The hours will come in handy for those individuals who are planning a trip there next month. Of course, hours have become slightly more limited as the crowd levels will be more manageable with school back in session.
The relatively new water / lights / sound / video show known as World of Color in California Adventure appears to be scheduled nightly, which is good as it has proven extremely popular with guests.
Morning Magic Hours are noted in the calendar with "MMH." Those who have visited Disneyland in the past may recognize the format as the previous "Early Entry." Walt Disney World patrons will find it is similar to the morning "Extended Magic Hours" offered there. However, there are a few requirements to keep in mind.
Walt Disney World has released the Park Hours for February 2011. These hours will be appreciated by those planning their early 2011 trips to the World and are ready to book their dining reservations – remember 180-days out!
Hours are posted below for all four of the Walt Disney World Parks – Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studies and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The operating schedule for the water parks is also available, but easy to remember. Blizzard Beach is closed the entire month for refurbishment while Typhoon Lagoon operates daily from 10AM – 5PM.
EMH (Extra Magic Hours) are noted on the calendar as well. For those who do not know what EMH is, they are additional hours when the parks are open, but only to select guests such as those who stay at one of the many Disney Resort hotels on-property. There are morning EMH hours and evening EMH hours. For the morning EMH, a select park will open one hour early, but only to those guests who qualify. Evening EMH hours occur when a park stays open up to three hours late. Once again, only for those guests who qualify.

Disneyland
Disneyland and California Adventure have released their park operating hours for August 2010. These hours are available a bit earlier than typical for the West Coast parks, but potential summer vacationers are likely to be happy to see them.
The new World of Color at California Adventure appears to still be favorably affecting that parks hours with evening shows keeping the park open later than typically seen. Of course, the summer attendance has something to do with that as well.

Park Hours have been released by Walt Disney World for January 2011. While it may seem like this calendar is for a time that is way off, it is important to remember that Disney World operates on a 180-day-out system for their dining reservations making timely planning a necessity for those thinking they might visit the World in the winter of 2011.

Walt Disney World has released their park hours schedule for the month of December 2010 which should really excite those possible Disney guests who are planning a trip to WDW for the Christmas through New Year’s season.
The hours we have cover all four of the main theme parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studio and Animal Kingdom) and the two water parks (Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon). Speaking of the water parks, Blizzard Beach is open the typical 10AM – 5PM all month long while Typhoon Lagoon is closed the entire month for refurbishment.
We have noted Walt Disney World’s Extra Magic Hours (EMH) on the calendar as well. EMH signifies additional park hours for select guests – most notably all of those staying at one of the twenty-plus on-property resorts of Walt Disney World. These bonus hours are just one of the benefits provided to those who stay on-property. As an explanation, EMH allows qualified guests to enter either one hour before normal park opening, or stay up to three hours after normal park closing at select parks most days. These additional hours give guests an opportunity to catch some of the more popular rides and attractions when the park crowd numbers are slightly lower than normal.

Disneyland
Disneyland and California Adventure park operating hours for June 2010 are now available and offered for you below. Those planning an early summer trip will find the information extremely useful in planning your trip to the west coast Disney Parks.
As Disneyland tends to be more of a "local park" in that more Californians visit, the company does not release park hours very far in advance – typically only a month and a half in advance, or so. That is why you are only getting the June park hours now.
We have noted Morning Magic Hours in the calendar with "MMH." Those unfamiliar with Morning Magic Hours may recall it as "Early Entry" if they visited Disneyland in years past. It is similar to the "Extended Magic Hours" offered at Walt Disney World, but differs in a few respects.
- MMH is only offered at Disneyland – California Adventure does not participate in the offering.
- MMH only occurs on select days, typically Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
- MMH is available with select tickets and packages, but not necessarily tied to a room reservation. For instance, guests buying a 3,4 or 5-day park hopper from the Disneyland website are usually offered one admission to the Morning Magic Hour.
- Those staying on-property at one of the Disneyland Resorts (Disneyland Hotel, Disney’s Grand Californian or Paradise Pier) usually get entrance to any MMH just by showing their room card.
- Valid park admission for the day is required to utilize the MMH option.
- Only certain Disneyland attractions are open for MMH.
- for more details – see the Disneyland website.
Special event times can be found on Disneyland’s website or on the park maps available when you enter the park.
