Here’s what you need to know about Extended Evening Hours at Walt Disney World!
What are Extended Evening Theme Park Hours?
Having more time in the parks has long been a perk for Guests staying at Walt Disney World resort hotels. With the kickoff of the 50th Anniversary Celebration on October 1st, 2021, late hours at two of the four theme parks returned! On select nights, Magic Kingdom or EPCOT theme park is open for eligible Guests to stay two hours after park closing.

At this time, Extended Evening Theme Park Hours are offered at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT theme parks. With just a few exceptions, the schedule has been EPCOT on Monday nights, and Magic Kingdom on Wednesdays. For the current schedule and also to see the list of available attractions at each park, visit the Disney World website.
Dining options during Extended Evening Theme Park Hours are limited, so we suggest eating before park closing. Two hours seems like a long time, but it can fly by and you’ll want to use those precious hours riding the attractions!
