Did you know that Disney World’s most expensive hotels have a super special perk reserved just for them?

It’s called Extended Evening Hours and it allows those staying at deluxe hotels to enter certain theme parks on certain days after hours. Yes, after the park has already closed! So which hotels should you stay at if you want this exclusive perk? Here’s a full list of resorts that are included
Extended Evening Hours occur on select nights and in certain parks. Check the calendar online or in the My Disney Experience app for the most up-to-date information.
