Hiya Jared! Thanks for stopping by planDisney!
Oh boy! A winter getaway to the Most Magical Place on Earth! I was able to visit during this time last year and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts was underway, which included the
DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series. I can't put in words how amazing these performances were, but if they decide to bring this back during the time you are there, I highly suggest making this experience a priority. And to top it off, there was no extra cost to attend.
I'm happy you have decided to stay at Shades of Green on Walt Disney World Resort. This is one of the most family-friendly resorts on Disney property. You also receive many of the amazing benefits that Guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts hotels receive during their stays, including
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours. This extra benefit is held on select nights for select theme parks. Currently, available dates extend into the month of October, with most Monday nights reserved for EPCOT and Wednesday nights for the Magic Kingdom. As of now, this is a benefit that has continued to go on for the entire year and I would anticipate more dates to be released as time progresses. I suggest continuing to check the Walt Disney World website for updates. Keep in mind that this extra benefit is always subject to change, so it is not a guarantee that it will be available during your stay.
Attending the Extended Evening Theme Park Hours is the perfect way to fit in a bunch of attractions in a short amount of time. The crowds have been rather low for many of these dates, and it has allowed Guests to get the most out of this time. You also can take advantage of
Early Theme Park Entry each day at any of the four theme parks. You are allowed to enter up to 30 minutes before the official opening time. This extra head start will give some time to beat the rest of the crowds into the parks.
Jared, I hope this information helps you plan for your upcoming visit! Keep checking the website for updates on new dates for the Extended Evening Theme Park Hours!
See ya real soon!
