Although not as long as the previously offered Extra Magic Hours, Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours are offered to select guests of Disney Resort hotels and some Good Neighbor hotels near Walt Disney World. These extra hours can be a very valuable use of your time if you're willing to give up some sleep on either end of your theme park day(s). We've found that the early morning option can offer lower crowds than in evening as folks don't tend to enjoy waking up super early on vacation.

• Disney After Hours
  Disney After Hours is a special, hard-ticketed event that is held at select theme parks on select nights at Walt Disney World.
  
  
• Early Theme Park Entry
  Early theme park entry is a benefit for registered guests staying at Disney Resort hotels and other select Disney-area hotels.
  
  
• Extended Evening Hours
  Guests staying at a Disney Deluxe Resort or Disney Deluxe Villa Resort or other select hotels can enjoy extended evening hours on select evenings in select theme parks.
