Extended Evening Hours are a benefit for people staying at Disney World Deluxe Resorts and Villas, and allows them extra time in select theme parks at night — which is a great way to experience a ton of attractions with little to no waits!
Hollywood Studios
Right now, this benefit is only available in  Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios. That’s all about to change, though, and we couldn’t be more excited!
Disney has CONFIRMED that Extended Evening Hours are coming to Animal Kingdom! We thought this news would be coming soon, after spotting Extended Evening Hours listed for this park on the calendar a while back — but now it’s officially confirmed!

Does this mean there will be no extended hours at Epcot for 4 Dec 23?
It’s so obvious how Disney creates CLASSES OF GUESTS. THE HAVES AND THE HAVE NOTS. If Disney is able to do it for some guests in their Deluxe Hotels, then they can do it for guests in all of their hotels.
One of things that bothers me when we go to Disney World, is how early the parks close most of the time. Over at Disneyland, California Adventure closes at 10:00 pm everyday, and Disneyland usually at midnight, but no earlier than 11:00 pm. You’d think that Disney World is so much bigger with more ground to cover, all the parks would atay open late all the time.
December 4th is a Monday which is normally the Deluxe Resort Extra Magic Hours for Epcot, but if they are now going to offer AK on that day then when will the Epcot one be that week? I have a trip planned for 12/3-12/8 and I’m trying to plan my dining schedule to coordinate with these special invites. Anybody know if they will still offer this for Epcot? We usually get two per week.
