Each day, select attractions at one of the 4 Disney World theme parks are open one hour early or remain open 2 hours after the regular closing time. Additionally, Disney Water Parks offer Extra Magic Hours during select times of year.
Extra Magic Hours help you beat the crowds and long lines, board some of the most popular attractions more quickly and experience more time in the Disney parks.
How It Works:
To take advantage of extended park hours, simply visit the designated park at the designated time. Upon check-in at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, Guests will receive a schedule detailing when each park offers Extra Magic Hours, so you can be sure to plan your stay accordingly.
