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 access select attractions 30 minutes 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.
