Starting 1 October 2021, Walt Disney World will begin offering Early Entry & Extended Evening Hours.
Only those staying at Disney owned resorts and some third party ones like Shades of Green will be eligible for the new Early Entry benefit that replaces Morning Extra Magic Hours, which ended when Disney World closed for covid in 2020. Early Entry will be available 30 minutes prior to regular theme park hours at every theme park every day.
In addition, guests staying at Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Resorts at Walt Disney World including Shades of Green will also be able to enjoy Extended Evening Hours on select nights in select theme parks. Extended evening hours will begin in early October 2021.
During each of these extended park hour timeframes, select attractions, merchandise, and food and beverage locations will be available.
A valid theme park ticket is of course required for entry and currently a Theme Park Reservation is also required.
Eligible guests will need to bring a MagicBand, Disney MagicMobile pass, or Key to the World card linked to the hotel stay, or another form of Resort ID.
