    Since I’m staying in the resort does Epcot have extended night hours for guest or is it only in the morning?

    Hiya Viani,

    Welcome to planDisney! We are honored to be a tiny part of your magical vacation to Walt Disney World Resort!

    If you ask my Prince Charming, Viani, the Extended Evening Hours benefit is his favorite part of staying at a deluxe resort or a deluxe villa resort. He loves spending extra time running around the theme parks, riding attractions, and I love the extra time for snacks! As a Guest of a Deluxe Resort, Deluxe Villa Resort, and select other hotels, you are able to attend the Extended Evening Hours if they are available. When I looked at the Hours and Events Calendar, I saw that EPCOT has been offering Extended Evening Hours on most Mondays, but when I looked at the schedule for May 2nd - May 9th, I didn’t see any Extended Evening Hours planned for those dates. Extended Evening Hours are currently only scheduled for Animal Kingdom on 5/4 from 6- 8 pm EST. Now, I do want to note that the schedule is subject to change, so there is still a chance that Extended Evening Hours are added before your trip, but that is just what we are seeing currently. My suggestion is to check the Hours and Events Calendar closer to your dates to see if anything has changed; it is always better to be safe.

    I hope this was helpful, Viani. Before I let you go, I know that Early Entry is only 30 minutes, but it really is a great benefit! We like to get to the park and head to some of the most popular attractions, like Frozen Ever After or Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, so we can get them done early. That then opens up our day for more fun. Not a big ride person, the Early Entry hours are also the best for getting photos in the theme parks. While everyone is heading to get in queue for attractions, you can get pictures in a nearly empty theme park! I hope that you have the most incredible vacation ever! If you need anything else, please come back and see us.

    Happy Planning,

    Ashley F.
