Hi there, Kristin!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question!
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours are a wonderful perk for
Deluxe Resort guests, offering a chance to experience popular attractions with smaller crowds. These extra hours are so great, as they can allow you to enjoy the parks in a more relaxed setting after most guests have left for the night! My family used to love to rope drop the parks when my daughters were younger, but now that they’re grown, we tend to sleep in and enjoy the parks later into the evening. Extended Evening Hours are perfect for us!
I’m happy to tell you that Walt Disney World
does publicly release the Extended Evening Theme Park Hours for guests staying at Deluxe Resorts, Deluxe Villas, and other select hotels. You can check the
Park Hours Calendar on the official Walt Disney World website up to 60 days ahead of your visit to see the
Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours for your vacation dates.
Simply select your travel dates (the first week of October, in your case) to view the schedule for each park. Look for “Extended Evening Hours” listed alongside regular park hours. These special hours aren’t available every night, so checking the specific dates and parks for your trip is important! If you’re using the
My Disney Experience app, navigate to the “Park Hours & Info” section, and select your travel dates. This will show you the regular park hours and any extended hours offered for Deluxe Resort guests.
When you check into your resort, the front desk or
Guest Relations can provide you with the schedule of Extended Evening Hours during your stay. They’ll have the most up-to-date information and can answer any questions you might have.
Wishing you a magical and memorable trip to Walt Disney World with lots of pixie dust and nighttime fun!
