Hi Karin!
Wow...your magical vacation is just around the corner. I know you must be counting the days! There are so many things I love about Walt Disney World and one of those things is definitely
Extra Magic Hours. Taking advantage of this amazing benefit offered to Walt Disney World Resort Guests is one way my family gets the very most out of our time in the Parks. There have been times that we have been in a Park late at night during Extra Magic Hours and it felt almost as if we had the Park to ourselves. It has always been so much fun!
Here's how
Extra Magic Hours work: Each day a different Park opens earlier in the morning or stays open later in the evening than usual. Typically there are certain attractions open during Extra Magic Hours in the morning and in the evening those same attractions-plus a few more-stay open for Guests. This, of course, can change but in the past, that has been my experience. Keep in mind that the schedule does change from day to day so I would recommend checking the calendar
HERE and make your plans accordingly. We usually spend most of the day in the Park where Extra Magic Hours are offered so checking the schedule is usually the first thing I do when I start making our plan. I think that will definitely help you as you plan, too.
Thanks so much for stopping by the Disney Parks Mom's Panel. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help with your planning. Best wishes for a visit filled with many wonderful memories that will last a lifetime!
