Disney Adds More Dates for Deluxe Guests Extended Evening Park Hours

Soon enough Walt Disney World resort guests will have a chance to experience the new “Early Theme Park Entry”. This new perk is available to ALL Disney Resort guests and provides a 30-minute early entry to ANY theme park, EVERY day. On top of the Early Theme Park Entry, select Disney Deluxe Resort guests are eligible for “Extended Evening Theme Park Hours“. While we previously shared that Disney released four October extended evening dates, we’re now seeing more October dates have been added!

When visiting the Walt Disney World website, you’ll see in the screenshot below, Disney’s October Extended Evening Theme Park Hours include October 4 at EPCOT (10pm – midnight), October 6 at Magic Kingdom (9pm – 11pm), October 11 at EPCOT (10pm – midnight), October 13 at Magic Kingdom (9pm to 11pm), October 18 at EPCOT (10pm – midnight), and October 20 at Magic Kingdom (9pm – 11pm):

Take note that guests staying at these resorts will still need a valid theme park ticket to gain access to the park, as well as a theme park reservation. If you’re visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios for example but still want to enjoy staying up until midnight at EPCOT and have a valid park hopper ticket or annual pass, you can hop to EPCOT as long as you entered your first park where you made your reservation earlier in the day.
