Welcome to planDisney, Kieren. I'm so happy to virtually meet you.
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours are a phenomenal perk for Guests staying at
Deluxe Villa and
Deluxe Resort Hotels and have valid
theme park admission. They happen on select nights at select parks, and I highly recommend taking advantage of them when they happen. I personally love just strolling around, hopping on attractions here and there, and simply enjoying the usually smaller crowds. Of course, many people take this time to get some of the most popular attractions at the resort accomplished, and that's a smart idea, but being a secret vampire, I love just taking in the ambiance at night and not having to worry about sunscreen. It's the simple things, you know?
At this time, Extended Evening Theme Park Hours have not been released for 2025. Keep an eye on the
Calendar, which will show which parks are offering them and when during your stay. The calendar typically displays information 60 days in advance.
One perk that you can usually depend on happening each day is
Early Theme Park Entry, which is currently for all Guests staying at
Disney Resorts Collection Hotels that have valid theme park admission. At this time, this perk allows you to enter any of the four theme parks 30 minutes earlier than other Guests. And while on the surface, that doesn't seem like a lot of time, trust me, it's definitely a leg up when it comes to knocking out an attraction or two before the rest of the Guests are let in. Do I often use this time to stroll around typically less-crowded areas before the masses come in? Yes. But that's just me. It's another time when I can savor the atmosphere and find some tucked-away spaces that almost seem like I have them all to myself ...or myself and a few other Guests!
Kieren, enjoy planning your vacation and when it arrives, do everything your heart desires. If you have any other questions,
please feel free to reach out again!
Keep moving forward,
Matt
