Those are hard ticket events to which anyone can purchase admission. Turning to another topic of confusion, Extended Evening Hours is distinct and different from After Hours at Magic Kingdom and the new After Hours at EPCOT, which debuts in Summer 2023. There’s about a 95% chance that it’ll operate identically to that EPCOT E-Ticket. We’ll update this accordingly once official, but for now, you can expect it to use the same system as Cosmic Rewind.

However, Walt Disney World has not yet confirmed that TRON Lightcycle Run will operate during Extended Evening Hours–or how it’ll be accessed if it does. Walt Disney World’s new roller coaster will use a virtual queue and thus should have a 6 pm entry time on Extended Evening Hours dates, similar to what Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind offers at EPCOT. This is because TRON Lightcycle Run opens on April 4, 2023. While originally promoted as a special perk for the World’s Most Magical Celebration (which ends this month), Walt Disney World has confirmed that Extended Evening Hours will continue throughout all of 2023 for guests staying at a Disney Deluxe Resort, Disney Deluxe Villa Resort, or other select hotels.Īlthough we don’t yet have full details, expect Extended Evening Hours at Magic Kingdom to change slightly next month. Guests staying at Value or Moderate Resorts are not eligible for Extended Evening Hours. The nighttime benefit is exclusively for guests staying at Walt Disney World Deluxe Resorts, Deluxe Villas (Disney Vacation Club units), and other select hotels (currently only the Swan & Dolphin and Shades of Green). However, there are a lot of differences between the morning and evening extra time in the parks.Įxtended Evening Theme Park Hours has a smaller pool of eligibility and also occurs less frequently. In terms of basics, Extended Evening Theme Park Hours is the indirect replacement for Evening Extra Magic Hours and is the current counterpart to Early Theme Park Entry. This strategy guide covers everything you need to know: eligibility, ride rosters, how the benefit works, and tips for best using the time at night. Extended Evening Theme Park Hours is an on-site perk for Walt Disney World guests staying at a Deluxe Resorts, DVC Villas, and select other hotels.
