Disney World Extended Evening Hours Announced for January

Magic Kingdom steps back into the rotation with Wednesday nights in January, EPCOT continues its traditional Monday evenings, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios gets a spotlight moment on January 26. Even Disney’s Animal Kingdom sees a continuation of its early-evening version of the perk through late December and early January.

From the quiet glow of Cinderella Castle to the neon hum of TRON Lightcycle Run, these extended hours offer a rare chance to enjoy headliners with dramatically lower waits. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Slinky Dog Dash, Avatar Flight of Passage, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, and Tower of Terror are all on the available attraction list, making this one of the strongest lineups we’ve seen for the program.

Disney World Extended Evening Hours Announced for January

With a full slate of parks participating, this is one of the most robust extended-hours lineups we’ve seen since the perk launched. And for resort guests, it’s a huge added value. Imagine strolling onto Space Mountain, weaving through empty World Showcase pathways, boarding Flight of Passage with minimal waits, or riding Slinky Dog under the stars. It’s the kind of after-hours atmosphere that longtime Disney fans rave about.

Extended Evening Hours remain exclusive to Deluxe Resorts, Deluxe Villas, Swan and Dolphin properties, and Shades of Green, so availability is limited to those guests. But if you’re staying at a qualifying hotel in January, make sure these dates are in your plans.

Disney Imagineers Help Los Angeles Rebuild Post-Wildfires by Reimagining Community Spaces

Disney Imagineers Help Revitalize LA Community Spaces

Lending their creative talent to a crucial cause, Disney Imagineers are helping Los Angeles rebuild post-wildfires by completely reimagining a community space, specifically focusing their efforts on the town of Altadena.

Following its generous $15 million donation in January toward Los Angeles fire relief efforts, The Walt Disney Company has dedicated $5 million of that fund specifically to rebuilding community spaces. This major investment will be used to revitalize Charles White Park in Altadena, along with two other key parks in the area.

Bob Iger, CEO of The Walt Disney Company, explained why the space was chosen:

Los Angeles has been home to The Walt Disney Company since its founding more than a century ago, which is why we felt a special responsibility to help this community rebuild in the aftermath of the devastating wildfires earlier this year. I’m incredibly proud of our Imagineers who are volunteering their time and talents to help reimagine cherished public spaces like Charles White Park. Their work is not only a testament to Disney’s creative spirit, but also to our deep commitment to our neighbors throughout this region. We hope this effort brings comfort, joy, and a sense of renewal to the Altadena community for years to come.

Disney Imagineers have collaborated closely with Los Angeles County officials to reimagine the park, ensuring that the design preserves elements that survived the fires while introducing exciting new features. Concept art for the revitalized community space reveals large, imaginative pinecone-shaped play structures (inspired by the park’s Deodar Cedar trees) complete with bridges and slides, as well as climbing boulders, swings, and a splash pad. The designs also include modern amenities like sports fields and a new amphitheater.

Donald Duck Streetmosphere Show Returns to Hollywood Studios

You’ll find these two high-energy performers between Center Stage and Dockside Diner, decked out in elf gear and ready to show off their record-setting routines. Showtimes run throughout the day at 10 a.m., 11 a.m., 12 p.m., 1:30 p.m., 2:30 p.m., and 3:30 p.m., giving you plenty of chances to catch the fun. The act runs daily through December 22, which means lots of holiday magic for your mid-day stroll around the park.

About halfway through the show, everyone’s favorite temperamental duck waddles in wearing his seasonal scarf. Donald jumps right into the action, assisting with snowball juggling, bowling pins, and even some audience participation. They wrap a volunteer in festive gift wrap and juggle around them like holiday pros, all while Donald tries his best to keep up. It’s slapstick, silly, and fully in the spirit of the season.

Lucas Museum of Narrative Art Sets Grand Opening Date: September 22, 2026

Founded by George Lucas and Mellody Hobson, the highly anticipated Lucas Museum of Narrative Art has officially set its grand opening date for September 22, 2026. This new cultural institution, featuring the distinctive architecture of Ma Yansong (MAD) and gardens by Mia Lehrer (Studio-MLA), is poised to become a major destination in Los Angeles’s Exposition Park.

Lucas museum

The Lucas Museum seeks to explore how stories connect people and capture the human experience. “Stories are mythology, and when illustrated, they help humans understand the mysteries of life,” said George Lucas, co-founder of the museum. The museum was built on the belief that illustrated storytelling is a universal language.   

“This is a museum of the people’s art—the images are illustrations of beliefs we live with every day. For that reason, this art belongs to everyone,” said Lucas Museum co-founder Mellody Hobson. “Our hope is that as people move through the galleries, they will see themselves, and their humanity, reflected back.”

IMG

The Lucas Museum’s permanent collection holds more than 40,000 works, representing one of the most significant collections of narrative art. The building’s thirty-five galleries occupy 100,000 square feet. Galleries are named to reflect the human experience—love, family, community, play, work, sports, childhood, adventure, and more.

They will display familiar pieces by beloved illustrators; mural paintings of the 20th and 21st centuries; comic art, of which the museum has deep and extensive holdings; children’s book illustrations; science-fiction illustrations; and the fantastic visions captured in 20th-century culture. The museum will also display cinematic artifacts, including movie posters, and show documentaries featuring artists and filmmakers.
