Welcome to planDisney, Bryan!
I'm so glad you stopped by to discuss one of my favorite topics: Walt Disney World's theme parks after dark. Whether it is the bioluminescence of
Pandora — The World of Avatar, lightsabers aglow in
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, the lights of Main Street, U.S.A., or the twinkle of Spaceship Earth, The Most Magical Place on Earth truly shines once the sun sets.
For Guests of Disney Deluxe Resorts, Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts, and a few select others, nights can become even more special with the benefit of
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours. I'm a huge fan of this perk as it not only allows me more time in the theme parks during my favorite time of day, but it also typically provides Guests with shorter wait times for some of Walt Disney World's most popular attractions.
Happily, this beloved perk will continue through 2026, so you should be able to enjoy it during your summer vacation! In my experience, the
Hours & Events Calendar is typically updated about 60 days in advance, so you should be able to see the dates and locations of offerings during your vacation soon.
planDisney Pixie Dust: In my opinion, certain attractions become entirely different experiences at night, so I encourage you to take flight in Fantasyland with
Dumbo, explore Andy's backyard aboard
Slinky Dog, immerse yourself in the
water cycle with Moana, and enjoy a bird's eye view of Magic Kingdom Park from the top of the
Swiss Family Treehouse. You might just find that it's
a whole new world!
Thinking Happy Thoughts,
Lizzie
