EPCOT - Extended Evening Hours

[SDA]

I recently realized that on our scheduled EPCOT day, there are extended evening hours. My understanding is that staying at the Swan will qualify us for these.

Curious as to what one does during the extended evening hours? I assume the ride lines are shorter - are all of the attractions open? I believe I read somewhere that the countries are not.

Just wondering how to maximize this benefit (if we aren't exhausted!).

I'm asking about the extended evening hours and not the ticketed after hours.

All of the sit down restaurants will be closed, along with most of the country related booths etc. there may be a few snack/popcorn carts or quick service locations open. Gift shops near the front of the park will remain open as well.

Extended hours are mostly for riding rides with short wait times. Most rides will remain open. Have fun!

Here's the Extended Hours webpage: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-services/extended-evening/

It lists the eligible hotels (including the Swan) and the attractions that are open.

Thanks! I somehow missed this entirely!
