Additional Changes

From October 11th, Disney’s Animal Kingdom joins the Extended Evening Hours schedule, offering guests additional opportunities to explore the park after regular hours. EPCOT remains part of the lineup throughout this period, providing a consistent option for evening enjoyment. Notably, Magic Kingdom will not host Extended Evening Hours during this time due to its packed event schedule.

Impact on Guest Experience

These modifications aim to enhance guest experiences by distributing crowds more evenly across the parks. While Magic Kingdom will not participate in the Extended Evening Hours, guests can still enjoy unique evening experiences at the other participating parks. This approach helps manage the high visitor numbers during the holiday season, ensuring a more enjoyable experience for all.

Conclusion

As these changes take effect, guests staying at Deluxe Resorts can look forward to a varied and exciting evening park experience. By understanding the updated schedule, visitors can better plan their trips, making the most of the Extended Evening Hours perk. Keep an eye on the latest updates to ensure a magical visit to Walt Disney World during this festive period.
