Does anyone know if the extended evening hours for deluxe resort guests are going to continue into 2023? Are these extra hours worthwhile or are the parks pretty full and ride lines long? While we do usually stay deluxe, we were contemplating booking at a moderate to save some money, but we'd book deluxe if the extra evening hours are worth it.

TIA!
 
We were able to do extended evening hours for every park except AK last week. It was amazing. Best part of the trip for us. We also plan our days around attending them.

That’s a bit out of the norm. DHS has only been offered on a handful of nights over the past 15 months since this started.

The usual schedule is Mondays at Epcot and Wednesdays at MK.

I know it was very much worth it in nov….

we got MK and Epcot during our stay did every thing we want to in each park in 90 minutes…..

did not try guardians though …
 
From my perspective, it depends on how long your trip is and whether you have kids. And maybe even when your trip is. If it’s during a busy time, for example, and MK is open later than usual, extended hours may not start until 10pm and that may not be doable (or necessary during a week long trip). Same for epcot, since nothing is open besides the few rides. But if you’re doing a trip of only a few days older kids or adults and it aligns with Monday and Wednesday, could be worth it then.

At Epcot the only rides that are usually closed for evening emh are the shows, figment, and living with the land.

What I mean is that in epcot, it’s just the rides. So it’s not like the shops or dining or world showcase pavilions are really open besides the rides. And that may be enough! But I was clarifying that it’s not like the park looks open during these extended hours in the way that maybe one would expect if you haven’t been to them before.

We’d be going in June, so I’m sure the parks will be open later, but my boys are 17-years-old, so they’ve mastered the art of staying up late, lol. 😂 We haven’t nailed down specific dates, but we’d probably be there over a Monday and Wednesday.

Thank you! I appreciate knowing this.
