Do you think we can expect Mondays and Wednesdays to be Epcot and MK extended evening hour days moving forward? Excluding, of course, a day when there’s an after-hours event in MK.

Of course we are departing on 10/4 .. lol

But least some updates on extended hours.

edit: on plus side, do see revised park hours for Epcot extended to 10pm instead of 9pm starting 10/1 for everyone.

We check out the 5th so might be able to take advantage of the first one.

Where is Hollywood studios? Or is that still to come? Epcot is the one we are least likely to stay late in though DH loves it and excited.

I'm not sure if they have announced anything concrete but I'd guess they will do something like that....have a routine.

How do you get the extra hours? Do you just show a room key?

HS is the one we’re really waiting on. That’s the park where there are the most rides that have crazy waits. It’s also the park with the most rides that our 4 year old won’t go on. We would love to be able to have her stay at the hotel with the grandparents (who also don’t care about those rides) while we go back in.

My guess is they’ll do it via magic bands. You won’t be able to get onto rides unless your magic band shows you’re an eligible resort guest.

Magic band or smart phone.

Same here. For us while knowing Magic Kingdom will be late hours is nice it is obsolete as we will
be purchasing the late night Christmas party tickets. More info on Hollywood studios!

Yeah, we’re planning on trying for the Christmas party too!

I think he's alluding to APs as well- they usually do it for DVC and APs IIRC. ETA: this could also include soft openings. He's not really specifying what the other opportunities are except that it may include DVC.

Anyone think I might have a shot of riding between Aug 15-20? Or are we thinking that's too early. Like guest soft open or AP preview won't be until September? I'm AP and DVC. I was lucky enough to get attend the GE AP preview and it was AWESOME!

Honestly Magic Kingdom only opened until 11 is kinda weak. They should keep it open a little
later for the public and extended 10- Midnight. Anyone remember the days when it was open to
12 or even 1 am?

Am I remembering wrong about this? I could have sworn Hollywood Studios evening extra magic hours kind of disappeared in the last few years (before Covid obviously). I only really remember MK and Epcot having evening hours. Maybe it will be the same for these Deluxe Resort only extra hours.

I sure do miss those days.

I honestly hope not. Having extended for HS would be a game changer for our family. Coming from
West Coast we are not rope droppers.. Epcot late hours are nice but that is not the most crowded park
especially when it comes to rides. For the amount of money Deluxe is costing this year I hope there
is more incentive to stay deluxe then what they just announced. I will wait patiently.
