Extended Evening Hours

[Lisa P.]

I can also imagine plaids skip the line, but I didn't see any.

Sorry... what does this mean, please?

We used the LL last night at Test Track during Epcot’s extra evening hours for Deluxe guests, but we had a scheduled DAS pass at the time. I don’t think anyone else but DAS was in the LL - the CMs were on a speakerphone instructing all Deluxe guests to scan in at the standby line. This was around 9:30 p.m.

We did Test Track and Soarin’ during evening hours on Monday - both used the regular stand by lines.

Hi all, since covid not sure how this works anymore. We are going to MK on 4/20 and I see there is extended hours for hotel guest from 9pm-11pm. We are not hotel guests but will the cast members kick us out or do they not really care? Not sure if people get wristbands or what but just not sure how it works anymore.

You will not be able to ride any of the attractions. Guests at participating hotels scan their MB or hotel key at each ride entrance. The CMs are pretty vigilant about enforcing that requirement. But if you are in the queue at park closing, you will still be able to ride that attraction even if you do not reach the loading area until long after the park has closed.

I believe that you'll be allowed to stay in the park to shop or buy snacks (I may have read of people not allowed to buy anything, can't remember for sure), but they'll scan your MB or park ticket at the entrance to the ride queues and not allow you to enter the line to ride.

Don’t these usually come out on Fridays? I’m anxiously awaiting the release of mine but they still aren’t there.

 

[T'Lynn]

Yes, I believe schedules are usually updated on Fridays

So if during EEH, you are staying at POP, and you just want to walk around the park and try to get some good pictures during that time, is it correct to assume, buses going back to POP would not be available at 11? If the park closes at 9, then the buses for POP would end at 10? If we wanted to stay until 11, I guess we could just Uber back?

Are they still offering extended hours?

Yes. Details and schedule for the Deluxe Evening Hours can be found HERE. Details about the morning early theme park entry (ETPE) can be found HERE.

If you check out of a deluxe and into a moderate on a day that has Extended Deluxe Evening Hours, do you qualify? And do you need a special trip to GR, or does it show up automatically?

Yes, you qualify from check-in through check-out days. No trip to GS required.

It seems that no one knows the answer for sure about using the LL for deluxe ... if anyone has confirmation, it would be appreciated!

I was at MK extended hours on Wednesday. No LL. Went through standby. You get scanned at the line entrance to confirm eligibility. (Some CMs scanned everyone’s MB, some only scanned for one of us and waved our party of 3 through.)

With so few big liner attractions, am wondering if the extra magic hours for the deluxe hotels is really useful? Any thoughts?

I’m wondering the same! Hoping it will help us ride Remy and Guardians of the Galaxy this summer.

I’m Trying to plan our late August trip. It’s the first trip for my kids (and I haven’t been since I was a kid) . We plan on doing one park per day. We are arriving early on Monday. (As long as the extended hours continue) Do you think it’s worth it to plan on going to Epcot to take advantage of them or just go on a day with regular hours?

If you are staying at a Dekuxe Resort you can go to the EEH regardless of where your park reservation is for the day.

I don’t think this is true. I think you need a park reservation or a park hopper ticket.

 

[SleeplessInTO]

You need a valid park pass reservation for that park or hopper & have tapped into your previous park already.
