Disney World Extended Evening Hours for July 2026

If you’re visiting Walt Disney World in July 2026 and are eligible for Extended Evening Hours, the entire schedule is now available. Things remain average this month, with Epcot hosting extended evening hours on Mondays and Magic Kingdom on Wednesdays. As we discuss below, you’ll want to check the park hours in the My Disney Experience app during your visit. This time of year, it is not uncommon for Disney to extend park hours, especially around the 4th of July holiday.

Regarding eligibility, this resort hotel perk is exclusive to guests of deluxe and deluxe villa resorts. On these select evenings, eligible 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

Monday, July 6th at Epcot (9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.)
Wednesday, July 8th at Magic Kingdom (11:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.)*
Monday, July 13th at Epcot (9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.)
Wednesday, July 15th at Epcot (11:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.)*
Monday, July 20th at Epcot (9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.)
Wednesday, July 22nd at Magic Kingdom (10:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.)
Monday, July 27th at Epcot (9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.)
Wednesday, July 29th at Magic Kingdom (10:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.)

*Park hours have been extended.

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.

We’ve created the calendar below to highlight the dates. Here is the PDF version. We’ve inserted “check hours” on the nights Magic Kingdom hosts extended evening hours. We did this because Disney will likely extend park hours. (This would be rare for Epcot.)

Our best advice is to double-check park hours on the day of your visit to ensure accuracy. You can 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 every time we visit the parks to double-check hours of operation.)

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 hopping entitlements can begin the day in one park and take advantage of extended evening hours by hopping to that park later. 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 benefit whenever we’re eligible. Extended Evening Hours often mean lighter crowds and shorter waits for most attractions. July is typically a little busier the first week or two of the month due to crowds coming in for the 4th of July. If you’re visiting during the holiday, make sure to see our guide to the 4th of July at Disney World. After the holiday, the pace is fairly slow to moderate. If you would like to learn more about the month as a whole, see our guide to visiting Disney World in July.
