Hey there, Anthony! Welcome to planDisney! We're so excited to hear about your upcoming magical adventure to
The Most Magical Place on Earth. I just know you and your family will have the time of your lives and make memories that will last a lifetime!
Are you ready to learn how to make the most of your time at the theme parks? While I can't see your tickets, I can certainly tell you about two ways to extend your fun.
The first option,
Disney After Hours, is an exclusive opportunity that allows you to spend an extra 3 hours at select theme parks such as
Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park. These special ticketed events offer shorter wait times for attractions since tickets are limited, giving you a more intimate and magical experience. As a bonus, you can also enjoy complimentary snacks like ice cream novelties, popcorn, and beverages—all included in the cost of the ticket. Keep in mind that this is an additional ticket that you need to purchase on top of your regular theme park admission ticket.
The second option is the
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours. Guests staying at a
Disney Deluxe Resort,
Disney Deluxe Villa Resort, or other select hotels can enjoy extended evening hours on select nights. There's no extra cost to enjoy this benefit, but you have to be staying at one of the select participating resorts to be able to enjoy this perk. Just last week, I got to do this while staying at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. I hopped on a bus to enjoy Magic Kingdom with barely any crowds. In just a couple of hours, I was able to ride all my favorites like
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, and
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
I really hope this info helps with your planning, Anthony! I can't wait for you and your family to experience all the magic this August. If you have any more questions,
please don't hesitate to reach out. It's always a pleasure to help out a friend like you.
Cheers
Nilson
