Good news, Disney fans! We’re getting more time to enjoy Disney World this year, as the Extended Evening Hours schedule just got updated.
Disney World’s Extended Evening Hours are coming back to the Magic Kingdom! We can’t for late nights and fun times at the iconic park once again. Let’s take a look at all the details.
That’s right, Magic Kingdom’s extended evening hours are making a return. We got a look at the latest park hour updates, and you can see that Magic Kingdom will be open pretty late on September 3rd!
The park will operate from 9 AM to 10 PM on that day for those with a regular park ticket or Annual Pass. However, Disney Deluxe resort guests will be allowed not only to arrive as early as 8:30 AM, but also to stay until midnight.
This is currently one of the few Extended Evening Hours dates for Magic Kingdom in what has been an unpredictable summer for extended hours. The other three parks have all been taking turns having extended hours throughout June, July, and August. If you’re staying at a Deluxe hotel, you might want to make it a habit to check the My Disney Experience App for updated park hours. You never know when they might change!
If you’re wondering what the current extended evening hour schedule is, we’ve got you covered. We’ve created a full list right here for you — just make sure you mark down the dates you need to remember.

Just remember, Extended Evening Hours are for guests staying at Deluxe Disney Resort hotels, or other select hotels ONLY. We love getting to stay at the park a couple of hours after the park closes! You get access to select attractions with shorter wait times and fewer crowds. You just get more time to soak in the extra magic.

EVERY time I have stayed for extended evening hours it has never been just deluxe resorts. Nobody is checking at ride entrances. Very frustrating as we always stay at a deluxe resort and have never truly been able to take advantage of limited crowds during extended evening hours.
