Roughly, the daylight hours in August in Orlando tend to be about 60 minutes less than equivalent time in the UK. Unless I am mistaken, Eatern Time also use 'Daylight Saving Time' or something like it in summer. It starts to get light just after 5am and you can still see twilight at 8pm.
Andrea here are the details for today.

I think the Americans cover about every option here.!:D
I think Walt Disney arranged for it to get dark very early (and very fast!)so they could sell more of the "lighty up gizmos" at the evening parades!!:D:D
