    I'm planning my upcoming trip and realized that there happens to be extended evening hours the day my family goes to EPCOT! I am staying at Saratoga Springs, and am wondering what I need to do to make sure I can stay for extended evening hours!

    Hi Busia, 

    Welcome to planDisney! Thanks for stopping by with a question about your upcoming stay at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, it sounds like you've been doing some research! My family loves our stays at Saratoga - the grounds are lovely and the proximity to Disney Springs can't be beat. Let's take a peek at Extended Evening Hours and how they can work best for your travel party. 

    On select nights at select parks, theme parks will remain open for an additional two hours for Extended Evening Theme Park Hours to Guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts, Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts and other select hotels. My family took advantage of the Extended Evening Theme Park Hours on our recent trip, and we enjoyed lower crowds and shorter lines for a variety of attractions.

    At EPCOT, as the performance of Luminous: The Symphony of Us ends, Cast Members will begin guiding day Guests toward the exits. Guests eligible for Extended Evening Hours may continue exploring the park. When you’re ready to experience an attraction, simply have a Cast Member scan your method of entry - whether that’s a MagicBand+, Key to the World Card, or Disney MagicMobile pass - and you’ll be on your way to even more nighttime magic.

    Here's a list of attractions that will be open during the EPCOT Extended theme park hours:

    I hope you have an amazing stay at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa and get to enjoy every extra minute of park time during your trip!

    Adventure is out there,
