Disney World’s Extended Evening Hours is replacing the Extra Magic Hours program for now. This new offering will allow qualified guests to stay later in select Disney parks.

EPCOT’s Spaceship Earth

We’ve seen the hours and dates available through October 20th so far, but Disney just released even MORE dates on the schedule for the extra hours.

Now, there are dates for the Extended Evening Hours available through November 17th. So far, the extra hours are on Mondays and Wednesdays, with extra hours in EPCOT on Mondays and Magic Kingdom on Wednesdays.

You will still need a valid pass or ticket in order to enter the park with Extended Evening Hours. You’ll also need a park pass reservation unless you have a park hopper ticket. If you do have park hopper, just make sure you’ve been inside the park that you have a reservation for first before you hop over to a different park.

EPCOT after dark!

Not all of the rides, dining, and attractions will be available during these hours. Disney has released a list of what will be open during these hours!
