Extended Evening Theme Park Hours

Guests staying at select Walt Disney World Resort hotels can enjoy more time in the theme parks with the Extended Evening Theme Park Hours benefit. On select days one theme park stays open up to two hours extra after regular park hours. This benefit offers guests more time to enjoy shorter lines during these extended theme park hours. There is no charge for this Deluxe Disney Resort guest benefit. Traditionally this event is only available for Magic Kingdom and EPCOT on select nights, however occasionally, Walt Disney World will offer this perk at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

This perk has been extended for 2025 Walt Disney World vacations!
