    Are Extended Evening Hours And Disney After Hours the same thing?

      Hi David,

      No they are not.

      Extended Evening Hours are a no-extra-cost benefit offered to those staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts, Shades of Green and the Swan/Dolphin family of hotels.

      While the Disney After Hours Events are extra cost/seperate ticked events held after the park in question is closed for the night to the general public, like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween and Very Mery Christmas Parties, only not in conjunction with a holiday.
