Hi Keith!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney! I've always found that my favorite memories from Walt Disney World Resort are the ones made with my family. I'm sure you're looking forward to a wonderful time enjoying
The Most Magical Place on Earth with your kids!
Keith, I think it's so sweet that you'd like to donate your
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours to your children, but, unfortunately, this resort perk is available exclusively for Guests staying at
Deluxe Resorts,
Deluxe Villa Resorts, or other select hotels. During these extended hours, Cast Members will scan theme park admission (
MagicBand+, Key to the World Card, or
Disney MagicMobile Service), which is linked to your My Disney Experience and your resort reservation. This will confirm that anyone accessing park attractions and other available activities is eligible for Extended Evening Theme Park Hours.
While your children may not be eligible for this perk, there are plenty of
great benefits that all of you can enjoy as Guests staying in the Disney Resorts Collection, including
complimentary resort transportation, advanced booking windows for
Lightning Lane passes, and
Early Theme Park Entry. It looks like your check-in date is also within the final days of the
free water park benefit. This allows all registered Guests staying at a hotel in the Disney Resorts Collection to enjoy free admission to the water parks on their check-in day (valid for check-in dates through September 8, 2026). My son and I had the most
SPLASH-tacular time starting a recent Walt Disney World vacation with a visit to
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park! Whether you and your kids are thrill seekers who want to enjoy the
many water slides or you'd prefer to float the day away on
Castaway Creek, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
I hope this information has been helpful, Keith, and that you enjoy making many magical memories with your family. As you finalize your plans, be sure to check out
all the fun you can find this fall around the parks - it's one of my favorite times of year to visit! You've got a friend in me here at planDisney, so please stop by again if you have any other questions!
To Infinity and Beyond!
