    Hello! We will be attending EPCOT extended evening hours on our upcoming trip! We are thinking of making dinner reservations at our resort and then heading back to the park after. What happens if we run late? Will we be able to enter the park after 9pm?

    Hi, there!

     Welcome to planDisney, Rachel. I'm so happy you stopped by and even happier to see you'll be traveling to the Walt Disney World Resort in just a few weeks! Yay! I bet you're counting down the days with excitement.

     If you're planning on taking advantage of Extended Evening Theme Park Hours, that must mean you'll be a Guest of a Disney Deluxe Resort. Double yay! This exclusive perk is so great. What's not to love about extra time in the theme parks? You ask a great question. As a Guest of a Disney Deluxe Resort, you may certainly enter EPCOT after 9:00 PM on a night that Extended Evening Theme Park Hours are available. I speak from experience! On our last visit, my family was standing on Main Street, U.S.A. enjoying Happily Ever After when my husband and oldest son decided they were going to head to EPCOT for Extended Evening Theme Park Hours. By the time they left Magic Kingdom Park and hopped on the monorail, it was almost 10:00 PM when they arrived at EPCOT. They had no trouble tapping their MagicBands at the turnstiles and entering the park!

     Did you know that Guests of Disney Deluxe Resorts have an extra opportunity to join the virtual queue for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind for Extended Evening Theme Park Hours at EPCOT? At 6:00 PM on the night of the event, you can request to join that extra virtual queue, and you don't even have to be in the park at that time! 

     I hope this was helpful, Rachel. Please let us know if you have any other questions about your Walt Disney World Resort vacation! We'd love to help you plan a magical stay.
