Disney World Extended Evening Hours in March 2026 (Calendar)

Disney has released the entire extended evening hours schedule for March 2026 at Walt Disney World. This month’s schedule is pretty routine, with Epcot offering extended evening hours on Monday evenings and Magic Kingdom hosting them on Wednesday evenings. We’ve put together a simple calendar so you can preview the dates and decide how to plan your park days. Those eligible will likely want to adjust their plans to take advantage of these extra hours in the parks where available.

Regarding eligibility, extended evening hours are only available for guests staying at deluxe or deluxe villa resorts. On the evenings when extended hours are offered, eligible guests can remain in the park for up to two hours after closing. You’ll want to be aware that valid theme park admission is required to enter the park.

One important caveat: the schedule listed below is what was listed when park hours were initially released. You may notice that park hours at Magic Kingdom have been extended from 9:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. starting on the 8th of March. This pushes back extended evening hours to 9:30 to 11:30 p.m. on select evenings. Since most of the month will be busy due to Spring Break, park hours could be extended again. So make sure to check the exact park hours on the week or day of your visit.

*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.

If you’re planning park days and are eligible for this benefit, you may want to pair these evenings with a slower morning or midday break. As a reminder, 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. (If you do not have a park hopper and are eligible for this benefit, you would need to plan your day at the same park that’s offering Extended Evening Hours.)

We enjoy taking 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. However, March will be a busier month, so these evenings will likely be slightly busier than usual, depending on the week you visit. If you would like to know more about planning for this month, see our guide to Disney World in March.

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.
