As part of the 50th anniversary celebration in Disney World, the parks have introduced both Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours for guests staying at the on-site hotels.

Early Theme Park Entry offers guests at all hotels the chance to enter the parks thirty minutes early. However, Extended Evening Hours is a perk reserved only for guests staying at Deluxe Resort hotels, and will allow those guests to enjoy a specific park for an extra two hours after the park closes to the rest of guests.
While we’ve mostly seen Extended Evening Hours offered at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, in December guests will be able to enjoy Disney’s Hollywood Studios for a little bit longer on two nights!

According to Disney’s website, on December 15th and December 22nd, 2022, Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be hosting Extended Evening Hours, giving guests at Deluxe Resort hotels the chance to enjoy a few extra hours at the park.

So, who qualifies for Extended Evening Hours? You will qualify if you’re a guest at these hotels:
- Disney’s Contemporary Resort
- Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort
- Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
- Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows

You can also qualify for Extended Evening Hours if you’re staying at Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, or Walt Disney World Swan Reserve.

Hollywood Studios is home to many E-ticket attractions such as Rise of the Resistance, Slinky Dog Dash, and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, so it’s a great park to spend those extra few hours in with less people!
