Hi Laura! I love it when a Guest asks about one of my favorite benefits of staying at a deluxe Walt Disney World Resort hotel…
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours!
Late night is my favorite time to be in the Disney Parks! The temps have cooled, the crowds have thinned, and the wait times for rides are shorter. On top of all those perks, there is just a special vibe about being in the parks at night.
The great news is that Mickey has announced that the popular Extended Evening Theme Park Hours benefit will be back for 2027! While it’s too early to know which nights and parks will be available in 2027, we do know that something of a pattern has been established over the past few years.
Typically, the Extended Evening Theme Park Hours benefit is available at EPCOT on Monday nights and at Magic Kingdom on Wednesday nights. When I plan my vacations, I always try to plan on being there on a Wednesday since Magic Kingdom Park is my favorite to visit at nighttime. While I believe it is likely that this pattern will continue through 2027, we’ll have to check back later. For your March 2027 visit, I recommend checking in January 2027.
For now, Laura, the best place to check the days and parks for the Extended Evening Theme Park Hours benefit is on the
Disney Parks Calendar! When you go to the calendar, simply select the dates you're interested in viewing. You'll then see the hours and events planned for each park that day! It is a great planning tool!
Dreams do come true!
