Gail, hello and welcome to
planDisney!
Are you staying at a Deluxe Resort during your upcoming
Walt Disney World vacation, Gail? If so, get excited because they are so amazing! The deluxe resorts are my absolute favorites. There are so many perks to staying at a deluxe resort hotel but one of my favorites happens to be the
extended evening hours. It's so fun to be in the theme parks during the late evening hours and because only deluxe Guests can access the theme parks during this time the crowds are so minimal. It is great!
Gail, I don't have any insider knowledge as to whether or not the calendar hours will be extended. However, park hours do get changed around all of the time and it certainly wouldn't surprise me to see those extended evening hours shift during the busy summer months. Be sure to keep an eye on the calendar and the
Disney Park Blog for changes, especially as it gets closer to your vacation. The closer it gets the more likely you will see something change.
If the calendar doesn't change and you are looking for something fun to do during those late-night hours, I suggest visiting
Disney Springs. I actually spend most evenings there during my vacation. Disney Springs is the shopping, dining and entertainment hub of Walt Disney World. I love to grab a bite to eat, a glass of wine and enjoy the free live music throughout well into the night. Disney Springs is free to visit and you don't need park pass reservations making it the perfect place to go on a whim if you are looking for something to do one evening.
I have my fingers crossed you'll see some more days pop up for the extended evening hours, Gail. If you have any other questions about this or anything else, please feel free to stop back by and
ask me. I'm here to help.
Have fun!
Jackie H.
