Disney World Announces Extra Nighttime Hours For 2026

There is nothing quite like Walt Disney World at night. Disney just released extra magic hours for the remainder of 2025 and well into 2026.

Disney Parks are truly magical at night. Many Guests still miss the longer hours in the parks that we often experienced before the park closures in 2020.

Disney has aimed to bring extra magic to select Guests. For example, all Walt Disney World Resort Guests can enjoy Early Theme Park Entry to enjoy select attractions 30 minutes early before other park guests.

Another great example is that Guests staying at Deluxe and Deluxe Villa Resorts can experience the parks at night after everyone else has left. This is one of the many great benefits of staying at these high-tier resorts.

Eligible Disney Vacation Club Members have the opportunity to enjoy a variety of perks. This free event lets members enjoy Disney Parks after hours with lower crowds and shorter-than-average wait times. Members can also see rare characters.

But even with all that, there is more! Members and their Guests can enjoy complimentary treats, which include Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar, Mickey Ice Cream Sandwich, and Fruit Bar.

DVC has just announced Moonlight Magic is returning to Walt Disney World and Disneyland in 2026. They have also announced more events for 2025 in Walt Disney World.
