Hi Alyssia!
I'm so excited to hear that you will be staying at
Disney's Riviera Resort! I haven't yet had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful new resort hotel, but I have visited to enjoy dinner at
Topolino's Terrace and to tour the resort's beautiful Disney Vacation Club villas. You are going to have a fantastic experience staying in the height of Mediterranean style!
It sounds like you are interested in enjoying
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours! This is an awesome amenity exclusive to Guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts and Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts and since you will be staying at Disney's Riviera Resort, you are eligible to enjoy these extra hours in the theme parks. Guests enjoying Extended Evening Hours need to either have the Park Hopper Option on their tickets or have a valid theme park reservation for the same day and the same park hosting Extended Evening Hours. So, unfortunately, if Extended Evening Hours are in a different theme park than your theme park reservations and you don't have the Park Hopper Option on your tickets, then you won't be able to enjoy that evening's extra time in the theme parks.
Keep in mind that
Early Theme Park Entry has a very similar rule, where you will either need valid theme park reservations for the park offering early entry on the same day of your visit or the Park Hopper Option on your ticket. So you may want to keep the schedule of Extended Evening Hours or Early Entry in mind when
making your theme park reservations or consider adding the Park Hopper Option to your tickets so you can make the most of your theme park time.
Feel free to come back to see us if you have additional questions planning your vacation itinerary! T-T-F-N, ta ta for now!
