    Hi, I’m checking into the swan reserve on March 12, there are extended evening hours that day but we will be at the park already, do I have to leave the park, get checked in and then return to be able to stay for the extended hours?

    Hi there, Tommy. Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney. Extended Evening Theme Park Hours on the very first night?! What a way to start your Disney World vacation! Being in the parks after hours is extra magical, so let’s talk about this exclusive perk.

    In my experience, you don’t need to leave the theme park and re-enter after Extended Evening Theme Park Hours has begun. Once it starts, Cast Members at the front of each attraction will scan your MagicBand, Key to the World Card, or Disney MagicMobile pass to check your eligibility. 

    Magic Kingdom Extended Evening Theme Park Hours is my favorite because there are so many attractions available to ride, and some are even better at night! Dumbo the Flying Elephant isn't one of my must-dos during the day, but at night you get such a great aerial view of the park’s sparkling lights. And my friends tell me that TRON is amazing after the sun goes down, but I’m not a coaster person so I can’t tell you from personal experience! There are a few rides that don’t run after hours, so check the website to see what’s scheduled to be open. If there’s anything on your list that won’t be running, be sure to ride them during regular park hours.

    You’re also staying in the perfect location for the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival! The Swan Reserve is a short walk (or FriendShip Boat ride) away from EPCOT’s International Gateway entrance. EPCOT is so pretty this time of year with all the flowers and plants covering every corner of the park. Keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog for more details, including the festival foodie guide and Garden Rocks Concert Series lineup. I’m hoping they bring back my favorite frozen violet lemonade! 

    Have a great time at Extended Evening Theme Park Hours and be sure to come back to planDisney if you have any other questions!
