Disney World Extended Evening Hours for Deluxe and Deluxe Villa Resort Guests (April 2026)

Disney has released the extended evening hours schedule for April 2026 for deluxe resort guests at Disney World. This month’s schedule is pretty standard for this time of year. Epcot will host extended evening hours on Monday evenings, and Magic Kingdom will offer them on Wednesday evenings. That said, we see a few slight adjustments at Magic Kingdom on Wednesdays due to later park openings. With longer hours of operation at Magic Kingdom, you’ll have more time to spend in the park, especially if you’re eligible for this resort benefit.

Regarding eligibility, this resort benefit is for guests of deluxe or deluxe villa resorts. On these select evenings, guests can remain in the park for up to two hours after closing. Be aware that valid theme park admission is required to enter the park.

As of publish time, Extended Evening Hours will be held on the following evenings in April:

Wednesday, April 1, 2026: Magic Kingdom (9:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.)
Monday, April 6, 2026: Epcot (9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.)
Wednesday, April 8, 2026: Magic Kingdom (9:30 to 11:30 p.m.)
Monday, April 13, 2026: Epcot (9:00 to 11:00 p.m.)
Wednesday, April 15, 2026: Magic Kingdom (9:30 to 11:30 p.m.)
Monday, April 20, 2026: Epcot (9:00 to 11:00 p.m.)
Wednesday, April 22, 2026: Magic Kingdom (10:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.)
Monday, April 27, 2026: Epcot (9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.)
Wednesday, April 29, 2026: Magic Kingdom (10:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.)

We’ve created this calendar below that you are welcome to use as a reference. Here is the pdf version. You can also view these hours in the My Disney Experience app. On the home page of the app, scroll down to the section titled “Plan My Visit,” and select Park Hours and Info. (We use this feature daily when we visit to double-check hours of operation.)

*Disney notes that applicable theme parks, days, and times of operation, attractions, and service availability may vary and are subject to change without notice. Subject to capacity and cancellation.

As always, those eligible for this benefit might want to pair these evenings with a partial resort day, slower morning, or midday break. Guests with park hopper tickets can begin the day in one park and hop to the park offering Extended Evening hours later if they like. That said, if you do not have a park hopper ticket and are eligible for this benefit, you would need to plan your day at the park that’s offering Extended Evening Hours. If you don’t want to spend the entire day in the park, you can always leave and return later.

We always try to take advantage of this deluxe and deluxe villa resort benefit whenever we’re eligible. Extended Evening Hours often mean lighter crowds and shorter waits for most attractions. But do be aware that April will be exceptionally busy, especially the week before and after Easter. If you would like to know more about planning for this month, see our guide to Disney World in April.

We also have a complete guide to extended evening hours at Disney World. It lists eligible hotels and attractions and provides an overview of how the process works.
