    We are at a deluxe hotel with 7 day park pass, not park hopper. If we choose to do a different park than what the park with special extended hours for the resort are, can we switch at end of day to the designated park?

    Hi, Christopher! Welcome to planDisney.

    Staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel is like stepping into a world where the magic never stops! From the moment you wake up to the moment you drift off to sleep, you're completely immersed in the Disney experience. Imagine starting your morning with a Mickey-shaped waffle, hopping on complimentary Disney transportation, and being just moments away from the parks. After a day filled with adventure, you can unwind by the pool, catch a Movies Under the Stars screening, or take a stroll through beautifully themed resorts that feel like an extension of the magic inside the parks. And let’s not forget those extra perks—Early Theme Park Entry, the ability to book Lightning Lane Multi and Single Passes before everyone else, and of course, the sheer joy of staying inside the magic 24/7!

    And speaking of extra perks, let’s talk about Extended Evening Theme Park Hours—the ultimate way to experience Disney with a little extra pixie dust. On select nights, Guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts and Deluxe Villas get bonus time in select theme parks after they’ve closed to the rest of the world. That means lower crowds, shorter wait times, and extra time to soak in all the fun. Picture walking through Cinderella Castle with the pathways almost to yourself, jumping on your favorite rides with little to no wait, and ending your night with one last spin on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind or a peaceful stroll through World Showcase as the lights shimmer on the lagoon. It’s Disney at its dreamiest!

    But here’s something important to keep in mind—unless you have the Park Hopper Option, you can’t visit more than one park in a single day. So if you’re dreaming of taking advantage of Extended Evening Theme Park Hours in the designated park, make sure that’s the park you visit that day! As we say in Liverpool, don’t make a dog's dinner out of your day—starting in Magic Kingdom Park only to realize you needed a Park Hopper to enjoy those extra nighttime thrills in EPCOT. Plan ahead, and you’ll be set for a night of extra magic and unforgettable memories!

    I hope that's helpful, Christopher! Thanks for choosing to be our Guest.
