    Do I need park ticket to use Extended Evening Hours? I'm staying Disney Deluxe Hotel.

    Hey there, Misuk! I hope you're having a magical day, and welcome back to planDisney. We know how important planning your upcoming vacation to Walt Disney World Resort is, so thank you for continuing to trust us; we are honored.

    A different kind of magic begins at Walt Disney World when the sun goes down! There's something extra special about roaming the parks at night. The crowds grow smaller, the temperatures cool, and the fun continues. Extended Evening Theme Park Hours turn your visit into a VIP experience, letting you enjoy your favorite attractions with shorter lines and a more relaxed atmosphere. 

    Guests staying at a Disney Deluxe Resort hotel and other select hotels are eligible for this amazing perk, which means exclusive late-night access to iconic parks like Disney's Magic Kingdom and EPCOT. Some of my favorite memories are from riding Tron Lightcycle / Run after dark or blasting backwards to some classic tunes on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. It's something you have to experience to understand, a completely unique way to enjoy the theme parks. Honestly, I think it's such a great value! My planDisney pal Sean has some great firsthand experience, too! We like to refer to ourselves as Team No Sleep. 

    To take advantage of this fantastic perk, make sure you have valid theme park admission for the day. Check the My Disney Experience app to see which theme parks are offering Extended Evening Theme Park Hours during your visit. It's absolutely worth experiencing, and I hope you have an unforgettable time!

    Misuk, I hope this information has been helpful and that you have a wonderful trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth. Please come back if you have any more questions. We're always here.

    Your personal planning companion,
    Michelle
