Hiya, Cheryl.
Welcome back to planDisney! I'm excited to hEAR you'll be returning "home" to
The Most Magical Place on Earth in 2022. You'll be able to experience the festivities of the
50th Anniversary Celebration on your trip. Plus, you will be here during the
magic of the holiday season. Walt Disney World Resort really knows how to deck the halls, so you're in for a really special treat!
Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa is an excellent choice of accommodation for your stay. Your Resort hotel is mere minutes away from
Disney Springs, so you will have easy access to all of the
delicious dining options,
shopping, and
fun things to do there. I recently dined at
Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' and highly recommend it. The food was some of the best I've had on property and the incredibly friendly staff made us feel right at home. You can follow up your meal with a trip to
World of Disney to find all the souvenirs your heart could hope for.
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours is a perk available to Guests staying at
Disney Deluxe Resorts,
Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts, and other select Resorts as part of the 50th Anniversary Celebration. On select nights, select theme parks will stay open past normal park closing for Guests staying at one of the qualifying Resorts to experience the magic even longer. To be eligible for the Extended Evening Theme Park Hours, you will need valid
theme park admission and a
theme park reservation for the same park on the same day or you must have the Park Hopper option and have already entered the theme park where your reservation was originally made that day. Keep in mind that the schedule of Extended Evening Theme Park Hours and available attractions are subject to change at any time.
Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa is one of the qualifying Resorts for this perk, and I am happy to report it is available to all Guests staying there. In other words, yes, you will be able to take advantage of Extended Evening Theme Park Hours on your December trip if it is still being offered at that time. Currently, t
he calendar for this perk is only showing dates through April, so be sure to check back closer to your trip to see if they are still being offered and on what nights.
Cheryl, I hope this information helps. If further questions arise, please stop back by planDisney. We'd be happy to help!
Wishing you all the pixie dust,
Alyssa
