Disney World Extended Evening Hours for May 2026 (Calendar)

The entire Extended Evening Hours schedule for May 2026 is now available for deluxe and deluxe villa resort guests visiting Disney World. This month is unique from last month because we see all four parks on the schedule at least once. It’s always nice to see Hollywood Studios listed, especially this early in the year.

Regarding eligibility, this resort benefit 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 in May:

Monday, May 4th at Disney’s Animal Kingdom (6:00 to 8:00 p.m.)
Wednesday, May 6th at Magic Kingdom (10:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.)
Monday, May 11th at Hollywood Studios (9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.)
Wednesday, May 13th at Disney’s Animal Kingdom (6:00 p.m to 8:00 p.m.)
Monday, May 18th at Epcot (9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.)
Wednesday, May 20th at Magic Kingdom (10:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.)

We’ve created the calendar below for your 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 every time we visit the parks 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 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 deluxe and deluxe villa resort benefit whenever we’re eligible. Extended Evening Hours often mean lighter crowds and shorter waits for most attractions. With the first couple of May being a less busy time, these extra hours will feel like a bonus! If you would like to learn more about this month, see our guide to visiting Disney World in May.
