Hi Oliver! Welcome to planDisney! I'm so happy you stopped by to ask your great question.
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours are one of the great benefits of staying at a
Disney Deluxe Resort or
Disney Deluxe Villa Resort at the
Walt Disney World Resort. On select nights at select parks, you can enjoy access to the park after the park has closed to all other Guests. This usually means less of a wait for the open attractions. As if that's not enough, at this time, you'll also get access to the
Virtual Queue for
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in
EPCOT or
TRON Lightcycle / Run presented by Enterprise in
Magic Kingdom Park. Please note that Virtual Queue offerings are subject to change.
I'm happy to report that if
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours are offered on both the evening of your check-in day
and the evening of your check-out day, you should have access to this benefit. Just keep in mind that this benefit is not offered every night for every park. You'll want to check the
Hours & Events Calendar to see when it's being offered while you're there.
If you really want to maximize the benefits of staying at these hotels, remember that you can also take advantage of
Early Theme Park Hours, which are available to all Guests of the
Disney Resort Collection Hotels. You should also be able to use this benefit on the morning of check-in
and the morning of check-out.
Please ensure that everyone that will be tapping into the parks for these extra hours is listed on your
My Family & Friends page in your
My Disney Experience account and listed on your Disney Resorts Collection Hotel reservation. Furthermore, you must have a valid
theme park ticket for the date of the offering, and if you're visiting from now until January 9, 2024, you must also have a
Theme Park Reservation for the park that is offering the benefit the day you are planning to use it. If you have a theme park ticket with the
Park Hopper Option, you'll be able to access this benefit if you have already tapped into the theme park at which you've made a Theme Park Reservation.
Oliver, I hope you have a wonderful visit to the resort.
Please be sure to reach out again if you have any other questions leading up to your visit.
Sometimes the impossible can become possible,
Matt
