A NEW Disney World Hotel Perk Starts Tomorrow!

One of the major perks of staying at one of Disney’s Deluxe Resorts is the access to Extended Evening Hours.

Extra time in the parks and low ride wait times — sign us up! Unfortunately, one park hasn’t participated in these events since they began — Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The park is beautiful at night, and we have been waiting for this perk to arrive there for some time now. Well, the wait is over. A few months ago, Disney announced that Animal Kingdom would have extended evening hours and it starts THIS week!

On November 8th, November 22nd, December 4th, and December 28th, 2023, guests at participating hotels will have exclusive access to Disney’s Animal Kingdom after the rest of the park guests go home for the day. Currently, Disney lists the hours for these events from 7PM to 9PM.

During Extended Evening Hours, select merchandise and food and beverage locations will be available, and rides will generally have low wait times! See the list of rides that will be available below:

This perk is available to guests staying at the following hotels:

Keep in mind that guests will still need to have valid theme park admission and a theme park reservation to participate.

We will be at the extended evening hours on the 8th, so follow us on social media for a look at Animal Kingdom’s extended evening hours.
