Disney World extended evening theme park hours: dates, times, eligibility
Disney World has kicked off extended theme park hours on select nights for certain select resort guests.
Those staying at certain participating hotels will receive an additional two hours at EPCOT and Magic Kingdom on Mondays and Wednesdays.
This is taking place as part of Walt Disney World’s 50th-anniversary celebration and is expected to continue throughout the 18-month celebration. But, again, with Disney, everything is subject to change.
Here’s what you need to know to participate.
HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE IN DISNEY WORLD 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.
