Guests staying at select Walt Disney World hotels can enjoy a new perk that allows for late theme park fun. Extended Evening Theme Park Hours allows guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts, Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts and other select resorts to stay in the theme parks after they have closed to regular guests.
To date, Epcot and Magic Kingdom are the only two theme parks used for this benefit. Epcot has stayed open two hours later each Monday and Magic Kingdom has remained open two hours later each Wednesday. But, this schedule is subject to change.
Guests should check the Extended Evening Theme Park Hours calendar for the latest schedule.
Here’s which resorts are eligible for the Extended Evening Hours perk.

Extended Evening Theme Park Hours are an outstanding benefit that almost captures the joy of Extra Magic Hours. Though other resort perks have been removed (RIP Disney Magical Express), this benefit might be worth splurging for a more expensive hotel.
