Although Disneyland Resort has not released an operational calendar for August 2026, guests should expect the Southern California theme parks to open at 8:30 a.m. that day, rather than 8:00 a.m. Guests who arrive 30 minutes early will not be granted entry into the Disney parks until the adjusted opening time.Would you adjust your Disneyland Resort theme park plans due to reduced operating hours?
