Staying at a Disney World hotel comes with its share of perks.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
First, you get FREE transportation that takes you to pretty much anywhere on Disney World property from your hotel’s front door. For those staying in Disney World value hotels, you also get Early Theme Park Entry, which allows you access to the theme parks 30 minutes before the general public. For those staying in Disney World deluxe hotels, you also get Extended Evening Hours, meaning you can stay in the parks a few hours after the general public has to leave. However, there’s something you need to know about Extended Evening Hours in Magic Kingdom.
Disney’s newest ride, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, will NOT be open during Extended Evening Hours in Magic Kingdom. So, if you were hoping to ride it during that time without having to stand in a long line (after obtaining a spot in the virtual queue) or paying for the Individual Lightning Lane option, you won’t be able to. We confirmed this with a Cast Member, although we were told this could change.

However, we have confirmed that you will get to check out the newly reopened Country Bear Jamboree during Extended Evening Hours. The show has been completely revamped, so it’s basically like a new attraction! As you can see, it’s listed with the other rides you can ride during Extended Evening Hours.

There’s still plenty to see and do in Magic Kingdom during these Extended Evening Hours events, so you won’t be bored in the least. For a full list of what’s open during these extra hours, view our full guide to Extra Theme Park Hours here.

Disney should rethink Tiannas for it’s extra hours. You pay enough to stay in a deluxe hotel, they should put out as a standby line or, at the very least a virtual queue. C’mon Disney, give back a little for all of us who pay so much to visit!
Ha! No surprise. When we went for extended evening hours, Seven Dwarfs was down the entire time. Most of the restaurants are closed as well as Jungle Cruise, the People Mover, etc. it was not the best experience.
