Select Disney World Guests Receive More Extended Evening Hours

One thing that many Guests have been missing for quite some time now is Extended Evening Hours! One of the main perks of staying on Disney property before the pandemic was that Disney Resort Guests could either enter a Park early or stay late, depending on the date and the Park they were visiting.

After the pandemic that perk disappeared but, as we recently learned, has slowly begun to return in the form of Extended Evening Hours. That being said, the perk is not available to all Guests staying at a Disney Resort. Below is a list of all participating hotels.

• Extended Evening Theme Park Hours schedule and available attractions are subject to change without notice.
