    Hi, we are coming at the end of May for a week - do you know which days and parks the extended opening times will be to help us plan our trip? Thanks!

    Welcome to planDisney, Steven! Thanks so much for coming to us with your question today. It sounds like you have an exciting trip planned for the end of May, which is such a great time to visit! I'm happy to chat with you about extra time in the parks so you can plan the details of your vacation.

    First, if you're staying at a Disney Resort Hotel, you can take advantage of one of my favorite perks: Early Park Entry! This means that you can enter any of the four theme parks 30 minutes early every single day. It's a great way to experience popular attractions before the crowds arrive. If you're looking to be one of the first people inside the park, I recommend arriving at least 45 minutes before Early Entry begins to give yourself time to get through security and get in place for your favorite attraction.

    For even more extra time in the parks, if you're staying at a Disney Deluxe Resort or Deluxe Villa, you can take advantage of Extended Evening Theme Park Hours on select nights. While the official schedule for May hasn't been released just yet, these extended hours are typically offered at Magic Kingdom on Mondays and EPCOT on Wednesdays. I recommend keeping an eye on the Park Hours & Info calendar in the My Disney Experience app as your trip gets closer, just in case there are any changes. No matter what, with a whole week to explore, you'll have plenty of time to enjoy the magic.

    Happy planning, Steven!
