    It seems the extra evening hours now include Hollywood studios. Will that continue onto summer of 2026?

    Hey there, hi there, Renae! You're as welcome as can be here at planDisney.

    One of my favorite perks of staying at a Disney Deluxe Resort Hotel (besides the fabulous dining, pools, accommodations and amenities, of course) is having access to Extended Evening Theme Park Hours. There just seems to be extra pixie dust in the parks at night, especially when the crowds are low and you can really slow down and take in the sights, sounds and short wait times for the attractions. I'm thrilled to answer your question today to help you plan your magical summer adventure at the Most Magical Place on Earth!

    Historically, Extended Evening Hours are usually offered at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT. However, during spooky season, when Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Parties occupy several of the late nights in Magic Kingdom, Extended Evening Hours are usually offered at Hollywood Studios. And last holiday season, when Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom and Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios were in full swing, Extended Evening Hours were offered at Animal Kingdom. 

    Unfortunately, we don't yet know which parks will offer Extended Evening Hours for the upcoming summer. So, I recommend keeping an eye on the Hours & Events Calendar on the Walt Disney World website or the My Disney Experience app as your vacation approaches. Usually, the Extended Evening Hours schedule is released 60 days in advance. When it's time to book your dining reservations, it's also time to plan your late-night extra magic!

    I hope this helps, Renae, and I hope you'll stop by whenever you have any planning questions. You've got a friend in planDisney.

    See ya real soon!
