Greetings, Kristi!
Welcome back to planDisney! I am so excited to hEAR that you are planning to return to the Walt Disney World Resort this summer. You will have a magical time as you join the fun of participating in the
50th Anniversary Celebration. So many new experiences were created for Guests as a part of the celebration. My favorite is
Disney’s Fab 50 Character Collection. You will find 50 golden statues on display across all 4 theme parks. They are posed to join you in a selfie, and they will also interact with the new MagicBand+ that will debut later this summer.
Kristi, you are a Disney planning rockstar to notice an Extended Evening Hours announcement.
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours are a benefit for Guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts, Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts, and Other Select Resorts are entitled to enjoy extra evening hours in the Magic Kingdom or EPCOT on select nights.
For Guests visiting EPCOT, there is an additional
Virtual Queue for Guests to have the opportunity to ride Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind. The boarding groups to ride will be called during the Extended Evening Theme Park Hours event. If you are a Guest of one of the Deluxe Resorts, I highly recommend that you check the schedule of available dates to take advantage of this feature.
I hope this helps with your planning. If you have any more questions before you arrive, please come back and ask us.
See ya real soon,
Andrea
