More Extended Evening Hours Added for Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Disney’s Hollywood Studios Gets Rare Extended Evening Hours This September

Walt Disney World has quietly updated its calendar to include a rare night of Extended Evening Hours at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, giving eligible guests extra time to enjoy some of the park’s most popular attractions with lower crowds.

The special Extended Evening Hours event is scheduled for Wednesday, September 16, from 9:00 p.m. until 11:00 p.m. This is a notable change, as Wednesdays are typically reserved for Extended Evening Hours at Magic Kingdom. With Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party taking over Magic Kingdom on many nights beginning in August, Disney is once again shifting the after-hours perk to other parks.

Guests staying at eligible Disney Deluxe Resorts, Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts, and select partner hotels will be able to enjoy two extra hours in Hollywood Studios with access to many of the park’s biggest attractions, including Slinky Dog Dash, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, Toy Story Mania!, Star Tours, Alien Swirling Saucers, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, and the recently reimagined Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets.

Disney has already announced that Disney’s Animal Kingdom will host Extended Evening Hours on August 26 and September 2 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., offering rides on Avatar Flight of Passage, Expedition Everest, Na’vi River Journey, and Zootopia: Better Zoogether! Meanwhile, EPCOT will continue hosting the benefit on Monday evenings, while Magic Kingdom retains most Wednesday nights that are not impacted by Halloween party events.

Extended Evening Hours remain one of the best perks available to guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts, Disney Vacation Club Deluxe Villas, and select hotels including the Walt Disney World Swan, Dolphin, Swan Reserve, and Shades of Green. With shorter wait times and access to headliner attractions after the park officially closes, it’s often one of the easiest ways to maximize your vacation without purchasing Lightning Lane passes.
