Hello Rebecca! To paraphrase a line from the song in Peter Pan, "
When there's a smile in your heart, there's no better time to start"—planning your 2026 vacation! You've come to planDisney with your question, and don't worry, it's
Smee you're looking for because I can help with this. (Sorry, I love a Peter Pan pun-it never gets old)
One of my favorite perks of staying at a Disney Deluxe Resort hotel is the benefit of
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours. There's something magical about Disney theme parks that come alive when the sun sets and the lights illuminate the park. With Extended Evening Hours, you'll enjoy this nighttime magic with lower wait times—pure pixie dust! Also, as a Resort hotel Guest, you'll also have access to
Early Theme Park Entry, complimentary
on-site transportation, and access to fantastic pools and Resort hotel activities.
Rebecca,
think of the happiest thing because I have great news: Walt Disney World has announced that Extended Evening Theme Park Hours will return in 2026!
2026 is an excellent time to visit because there will be many new offerings. "The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure" and "Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After" will open at Hollywood Studios this month! The new parade, "Disney Starlight," is coming to Magic Kingdom this summer, "Zootopia: Better Zoogether" will be showing at Animal Kingdom, and EPCOT will see the reopening of Test Track! You'll have many new experiences to look forward to! As you plan your trip, be sure to keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for all the latest updates on these exciting new projects.
