Changes coming to extended theme park hours in February 2022

Magic Kingdom and EPCOT will be swapping days starting in February on when extended theme park hours will be available.

Those staying at certain participating hotels now receive an additional two hours at EPCOT on Monday nights and two hours at Magic Kingdom on Wednesday nights. Starting in mid-February those days will change and Magic Kingdom will be open late on Mondays and EPCOT on Wednesdays.

These are subject to change and Disney is updating the schedule every weekend. Below is the schedule for January through mid-March.

Here’s what you need to know to participate.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN EXTENDED EVENING THEME PARK HOURS

First, you need to be staying at a participating hotel (see below). Second, you will need valid admission and a theme park reservation for the same park on the same day to experience extended evening hours, or if you have a ticket or annual pass with the Park Hopper option and first enter the park where they made their reservation. So, if you have a one-day ticket you need to have a park reservation for the specific park. If you have a Park Hopper you need to make sure you first head to the park you made your initial park reservation first.
