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.
