Hi there, Howard,
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with another great vacation planning question! I’m glad to see your planning is well-underway, your trip will be here before you know it! There are many perks to staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel and Guests staying at a Deluxe Resort, Deluxe Villa or select hotel can benefit from a few extra hours of magic at the theme parks on certain days.
To take advantage of these
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours, Guests need to have a valid park ticket for the park on that day. You are correct - without a park hopper, you would not be able to join the Extended Evening Theme Park Hours if you visited another park earlier in the day. Wait times during Extended Evening hours can be much shorter so if you would like to take advantage of less waiting for Magic Kingdom attractions, I would recommend changing your plans if you have the flexibility.
As a Disney Resort hotel Guest, you can also enjoy the
2025 Water Park Benefit plus there's no need to pack a towel for the water parks - complimentary towels are provided for Resort Guests! Just head over to Singapore Sal’s at Typhoon Lagoon or the Beach Haus at Blizzard Beach when you arrive, and a friendly Cast Member will get you set up with one.
I hope this information is helpful, Howard. If you have any other questions, please stop by
planDisney again - we are happy to help!
See ya real soon,
Candace
