    Is evening magic hours only available for Disney hotel guests or can people already in the park on that day continue to stay and enjoy the park/rides during this time?

    Hello Eleanor!

    Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Disney’s Extra Magic Hours are an amazing perk for Guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel. Each day at least one park will be open early, or stay open late especially for those staying on property.

    For Guests who are already in a theme park when Evening Extra Magic Hours begin, you will be allowed to remain in the park itself, but you will not be able to experience any rides or attractions. Cast Members will be stationed at the entrance to all attractions and will be scanning MagicBands to be sure that Guests are indeed staying at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel.

    If you are like me and simply enjoy the beauty of the park in the evening, would like to take a stroll through the park, or sit on a bench and people watch, you could do that and would not be asked to leave the park. Guests interested in staying at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel, should be sure to watch the Special Offers Page for any discounts. There are often special deals for those coming from the United Kingdom as well! I hope this helps to answer your question. Please let us know if there are any other questions we can help you with.

    Have a Disney Day!
