How to Get Extra Time in the Parks at Night
After Disney World reopened due to the global health crisis, extra magic hours were discontinued. As Disney World slowly started it’s phase of reopening guests staying at Disney World hotels received a new perk of being able to access the parks 30 minutes prior to park opening. But did you know some resort offer extended evening hours?

How do extended evening hours work?
The current evening hours policy allows guest of the select resorts list above 2 hours in the either Magic Kingdom, or EPCOT after park closing on select dates. From the Disney World calendar, it appears that guest will have extended evening hours for EPCOT on Mondays and Magic Kingdom on Wednesdays. This schedule of course is subject to change. We recommend you check before booking your park reservations.
So, what attractions are included?
It’s important to note that not all attractions and locations will be available at this time, and Guests will need valid admission and a theme park reservation for the same park on the same day to experience Extended Evening Hours.
