How Disney Springs hours work
Disney Springs opening hours can differ from the operating hours of individual businesses and attractions. Treat the district’s hours as a guide to the visit, then check the specific venue if you have a reservation or plan to visit a particular attraction.

Last checked November 2026. Hours can change on holidays and for special events.
Disney’s official attractions listing and map and directory provide operating-hour details for some venues. Those hours can vary, so use the listings for the date you plan to go rather than relying on an example schedule.

Where to find current opening information
The official Disney Springs hours and events listing is the place to check the district’s hours for your visit date. The official attractions listing and map and directory can help you confirm hours for individual venues.
Before you go, check the official site before you go. If you have a dining reservation, show or event in mind, confirm its time separately and plan your arrival around it.

Parking options and arrival
Disney Springs has complimentary standard self-parking in surface lots and garages. The published map identifies the Orange, Lime and Grapefruit Garages, plus the Watermelon and Mango parking lots. Designated parking for Guests with disabilities is available in all lots and garages, with a valid disability parking permit required.
On regular, non-event days, the garages open at 9:00 AM. On special merchandise event days, including every Tuesday for new pin releases, garages and rideshare loops open at 7:00 AM; vehicles may not queue before that time.
If you’re driving from I-4, take Exit 67 toward EPCOT/Disney Springs, stay in the right lane and follow the signs. Disney recommends arriving at least 60 minutes before a scheduled dining reservation, event or show. During holidays and peak periods, allow up to 2 hours for traffic and other delays.
Rideshare drop-off and pickup points are the Marketplace Loop near Disney’s Wonderful World of Memories and the West Side Bus and Rideshare Loop beside the Strawberry parking lot. If you’re comparing ways to reach the district, how to get to Disney Springs from Kissimmee is another useful part of planning.

Planning around evening visits
For an evening reservation or show, work backward from its start time: allow for the drive, parking and the recommended arrival buffer. Disney Springs bus service from Disney Resort hotels runs during operating hours and ends one hour after closing; buses from theme parks to Disney Springs are not available.
Bus service between Disney Springs and Disney Resort hotels is for guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel or visiting one with a valid dining or experience reservation.
You may be asked to show a room key or reservation. With a valid dining or experience reservation, you can board a bus from Disney Springs to the appropriate resort up to 2 hours before the reservation.
Sassagoula River Cruise boats run from the Marketplace dock to Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort, Disney’s Old Key West Resort, Port Orleans Resort – Riverside and Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter.
Disney Springs is about a 15-minute drive from Howard Johnson.
