What This Means For Visitors
Extended Evening Hours will apply to one of these three theme parks at a time – Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, or Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Over at Epcot, it’s an opportunity to ride cutting-edge attractions like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure or Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, or take your time traveling around the World Showcase at a leisurely pace.
Guests visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios will have more time for you to immerse yourself in the world of Star Wars at Galaxy’s Edge, or take a thrilling ride on the Tower of Terror.
