There are a lot of perks that come with staying at a Walt Disney World hotel.

One of the largest ones, of course, is that you’re within minutes of the Disney World theme parks AND get free transportation to each one (plus Disney Springs, Typhoon Lagoon, and Blizzard Beach). But you also get early entry into each Disney World park 30 minutes before the park opens on every day of your trip! Extended Evening Hours are also a popular perk, but they’re only available for select hotel guests. If you’re taking advantage of them on your next trip, it’s just been confirmed what rides will be available in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Similar to Early Entry, Extended Evening Hours allow Disney World guests staying at Deluxe hotels (the most expensive tier) an additional 2 HOURS of park time in select parks on select days. Unlike Early Entry, this isn’t constantly available in every park each day!

Guests staying at the following hotels are eligible for Extended Evening Hours:
- Disney’s Contemporary Resort
- Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort
- Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
- Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows
- Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
- The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

- Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Jambo House
- Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa

Magic Kingdom and EPCOT have been offering Extended Evening Hours for quite some time now, but now Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios are finally joining in on the fun starting September 25th for Hollywood Studios and October 11th for Animal Kingdom.

However, not every ride will be open during this time! Below, you’ll find a list of attractions that are scheduled to be open for Hollywood Studios (however, rides can still go down due to technical issues).
- Alien Swirling Saucers
- Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway
- Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run
- Muppet*Vision 3D
- Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith
- Slinky Dog Dash
- Star Tours – The Adventures Continue
- The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™
- Toy Story Mania!

You’ll notice that Rise of the Resistance isn’t on here, so you’ll want to make sure you ride this attraction during the day, or at least get in line a few minutes before park close!
As for Animal Kingdom, the attractions you’ll be able to experience are:
- Avatar Flight of Passage
- DINOSAUR
- Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain
- It’s Tough to be a Bug!
- Na’vi River Journey
- TriceraTop Spin
This is nearly every single ride in the park, with the exception of Kali River Rapids and Kilimanjaro Safaris, which is pretty amazing!
