Welcome to planDisney, Megan, your go-to, one-stop shop for answers to all your Disney vacation questions. I’m so glad you stopped by with your question about maximizing your Walt Disney World split-stay. I am unsure if you want to enjoy the
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours at
EPCOT or
Disney After Hours at EPCOT, so let me offer you information about both.
Guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts, Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts, and other select hotels can enjoy the
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours in participating Walt Disney World theme parks. This includes both your check-in and check-out day. Extended Evening Theme Park Hours at EPCOT typically take place on Mondays, but these dates can change so check the
Hours & Events Calendar for the dates you will be visiting Walt Disney World to determine which day it will take place while you are there. If you want to take advantage of the extended evening hours at EPCOT, be sure your stay at
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge aligns with the extended hours at EPCOT. Remember, this includes your check-in and out day as well.
Disney After Hours at EPCOT is a great way to enjoy many of your favorite EPCOT attractions with shorter wait times. You can encounter some of your favorite Characters and indulge in tasty snacks, all included in the cost of this event. If you are interested in Disney After Hours at EPCOT, you will need to purchase a special event ticket. I recommend attending this after-hours event when you stay at
Disney’s Art of Animation to use the
Disney Skyliner as transport. I love the ease of walking out of the International Gateway to EPCOT exit directly to the Skyliner to be whisked away and back to my Disney Resort hotel. The Disney Skyliner is one of the best advantages of staying at Art of Animation.
I hope this information helps you have the most magical visit to
Walt Disney World this May! If you have more questions or need recommendations, please visit us here at planDisney. We are all ears!
See ya real soon!
