Magic Kingdom is scheduled to resume Extended Evening Hours on Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2027, following a four-month break in the benefit at Walt Disney World’s flagship park.
The after-hours access is planned for 9 to 11 p.m. and is available to registered guests at Disney Deluxe Resorts, Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts and select other participating hotels, provided they also meet Disney’s theme park admission requirements. It is not an add-on ticket available to all visitors.
Magic Kingdom last held Extended Evening Hours on Sept. 9, 2026. During the fall and holiday season, when Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party alter evening operations on select nights, Disney shifted Wednesday Extended Evening Hours to Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Disney has listed 23 attractions for the Jan. 6 event, including TRON Lightcycle / Run, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Space Mountain, Peter Pan’s Flight, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean and “it’s a small world.” Attraction availability can change because of operations, maintenance or technical issues.
Eligible resorts include Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, Disney’s Beach Club Resort, Disney’s Yacht Club Resort and Disney’s BoardWalk Inn. Participating options also include several Disney Vacation Club resorts, the Disney Vacation Club Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort, the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel, Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel, Walt Disney World Swan Reserve and Shades of Green.
Planning Your Trip
Undercover Tourist is an authorized seller of Walt Disney World tickets, often at a discount off gate price.
Disney Value and Moderate Resort guests generally are not eligible for Extended Evening Hours. The benefit also has different eligibility rules from Early Theme Park Entry, which is offered to a broader group of participating hotel guests.
Guests planning a January stay should confirm their resort’s eligibility and make sure their hotel reservation and park admission are linked to their Disney account. Disney has announced the Jan. 6 date, but that does not mean the perk will be offered nightly; visitors should check Disney World’s operating calendar when planning Disney World tickets and park days.
