    Hi! I just want to know if Disney After Hours and Disney Extended Evening Theme Park Hours (I know is just for Villas and Deluxe Resorts) are the same? If not, can you help me with the differences? Thanks!

    Hey there, Daniel! Welcome back to planDisney! I’m glad you find our team helpful as you plan your Walt Disney World Resort vacation! There are some great ways for Guests to experience late-night fun in the Disney Parks! I’m glad you asked your question because Disney After Hours and Extended Evening Theme Park Hours are two very different offerings for Guests! I’m happy to explain the difference!

    I’ll start with the Extended Evening Theme Park Hours! This benefit is available for Guests who book a deluxe resort hotel at the Walt Disney World Resort. Guests staying in deluxe accommodations can access additional hours at select Disney Parks on select nights during their vacation. The parks remain open for a few extra hours for Guests of deluxe resorts. It is one of my favorite benefits of staying at a deluxe resort hotel! This does not require a special ticket but does require regular theme park admission.

    Disney After Hours are special ticketed events held at Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, and Disney's Hollywood Studios! Any Guest of the Walt Disney World Resort can purchase a Disney After Hours ticket. Disney After Hours events are held on select nights of the year. After the park closes for day Guests, the park remains open for a few hours for some extra nighttime magic! Disney After Hours features limited waits for attractions, complimentary popcorn, ice cream novelties, and select beverages. And, even though the special ticketed Disney After Hours events don’t start until later in the evening, Guests with tickets for Disney After Hours can enter the park at 7:00 PM! This is several hours before the event begins! That is a great perk of a Disney After Hours ticket! Tickets for Disney After Hours are available to purchase on the Walt Disney World Resort website!

    Daniel, I hope this clarifies the difference between these two late-night offerings at the Disney Parks! Come on back with more questions!

    Dreams do come true!
