Hi, Noelle! Welcome to planDisney.
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours are one of the best perks of staying at a Deluxe Disney Resort hotel. Getting to wander through the parks after the crowds thin out, hopping on attractions with shorter waits, and soaking in that late-night magic feels a little like having your own private Disney party.
Here’s how the ticketing works: to use Extended Evening Theme Park Hours (EETPH), you must have a valid theme park ticket (and be staying at an eligible hotel). That means if you only enter a theme park during EETPH, you’ll still use one of your ticket days. If your ticket type requires a park reservation, make one for the EETPH park; with the
Park Hopper Option, you can head to the EETPH park as your evening stop. You don’t have to have entered earlier in the day, just arrive during EETPH with your ticket/
MagicBand+ ready to scan.
If you plan to take advantage of EETPH, use that afternoon to rest up! Take advantage of
Early Theme Park Entry, but then head back and enjoy your resort. Have a slow lunch, swim in the pool, take a nap. You’ll have more energy to ride
Space Mountain at midnight without looking like Sleepy from Snow White.
