    Hi there! I will be at Hollywood Studios in early October 2025 on a Wednesday and saw there is only one Fantasmic! show scheduled for 9:30, after park close at 9:00. Are Extended Evening Hours for guests at Deluxe hotels still 9:00-11:00 on such dates?

    Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, James!

    Welcome to planDisney! We are DELIGHTED you stopped by and are honored to help you plan your upcoming trip to Disney World! It sounds like you will be arriving in a few weeks, which is absolutely supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Every corner of each theme park will be filled with wonder, joy, and memories just waiting to be made. From the first glimpse of the Hollywood Tower Hotel to the last firework lighting up the sky, you’re in for something unforgettable. Get ready for days packed with MAGIC, laughter, and pure Disney delight!

    What a great question, and I can't wait to share some AH-mazing information with you! On Wednesday, October 1, 2025, Fantasmic! is scheduled for 9:30 p.m., which is after the park’s posted closing time of 9:00. But, I don’t want you to worry about a thing! Park guests will begin seating for Fantasmic! around 9:00 p.m., and then the show kicks off at 9:30 p.m. This show is absolutely breathtaking, with fireworks, water projections, and Mickey battling classic Disney villains in a larger-than-life finale. The combination of music, special effects, and heartwarming Disney moments makes it one of the most unforgettable shows in all of Disney World. It’s one of those experiences that makes you feel like Disney is giving you a special encore to end the evening.

    It also sounds like you are staying at a Deluxe Resort on your vacation. If this is the case, I am very excited to share that you get an extra sprinkle of pixie dust as you take advantage of Extended Evening Hours that night from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. That means while the show is wrapping up, you’ll still have time afterward to enjoy Hollywood Studios with lighter crowds. Imagine walking onto attractions like Tower of Terror or Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway with minimal waits. It’s a perk that makes staying at a Deluxe resort even more incredible, giving you two bonus hours of MAGIC when most guests are already heading out. Between the thrill of Fantasmic! and the joy of riding your favorite attractions late at night, this night is shaping up to be an absolutely unforgettable evening at Hollywood Studios!

    If you have other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We are here to help in any way we can!

    Have a MAGICAL day!
