Hi ya, Shelly.
Thanks for stopping by planDisney today. I’m so happy to help answer your question so you can make the most of your time at Walt Disney World. There are a couple of different ways to enjoy some extra time in the theme parks. The first is a
benefit for those staying at select Disney Resort hotels.
As a Disney Resort Hotel Guest, you can enjoy a
30-minute early entry into the theme parks every day of your resort stay. I recommend reading through the list of participating hotels to see if your resort qualifies for this added extra. Guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts or Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts can enjoy
evening extended hours. You’ll want to check the
calendar to see which nights those extended evening hours are offered.
The last option is Disney After Hours events offered on select nights at
Hollywood Studios or
EPCOT. These After Hour events are a separate ticketed event and are available for purchase. You’ll simply select the date you want to enjoy this special event, the theme park, and complete your purchase. There’s even an
After Hours event at Typhoon Lagoon if you’re looking for a late-night splash! Again, these
Special Events are a separate ticketed offer and an alternate option to extend your time in the parks.
Shelly, I hope this helps break down the different ways you can enjoy extra time in the theme parks. If you still have questions about these three different options,
please ask! I’ll be more than happy to help!
Have a Magical visit.
