The park will be open from 9AM until 9PM for the rest of the month. Extended Evening Hours will take place on April 27th from 9PM to 11PM.

Extended Evening Hours is limited to guests staying in deluxe Disney World hotels, and it allows qualifying guests to stay after the official park closing for access to select rides and food spots.

EPCOT

EPCOT will also have some extended park hours in April. From April 1st to April 9th, park hours will be from 8:30AM to 9PM. EPCOT will resume previous hours of 10AM to 9PM beginning on April 10th, with Extended Evening Hours on April 4th and April 11th from 9PM to 11PM.

EPCOT will be open from 8:30AM until 9PM on April 10th through the 16th with Extended Evening Hours until 11PM on April 11th! 

UPDATE: EPCOT will be open from 8:30AM until 9PM on April 17th through the 23rd, with Extended Evening Hours on April 18th until 11PM. This is an hour and a half earlier than what was originally on the calendar!

The 10AM to 9PM park hours will continue from April 24th to April 30th, with more Extended Evening Hours on April 25th from 9PM to 11PM.

An 8:30AM EPCOT opening means an extra two and a half hours in the park, so you might want to take advantage of that extra time, especially if you also qualify for Early Theme Park Entry.
