Extra Evening Hours, Questions Please

[js]

Hi.

We will be at BWVs from May 2-9, 2026. When do I find out what days are the EEHs.
Although I have AP, some wont. Do we need a park pass for EEH if we are just going to the EEH?

Thank you very much!

Mondays are usually Epcot, Wednesdays are usually magic Kingdom, although I would check to verify. You do need a park pass though. EEH are awesome!

The app shows up to April 30th, so you should start seeing your dates in the app calendar soon.

They are almost always on Monday and Wednesday. And usually Epcot Monday and Magic Kingdom on Wednesdays, though they can change both the date or the park occasionally. (MK is usually switched out to AK or HWS while Halloween/Christmas parties are running for example)

Expect them to be on May 4th at Epcot and May 6th at MK, but check the app over the next week or two until it is confirmed or if we see they made a change for those days.

Everyone who is going into the park will indeed need a form of admission, like an annual pass or a dated ticket, and it will use a day of your tickets to enter, even if it is only for the EEH event.

Thank you. This is very helpful. I wasn't sure about the Park Pass since we have APs. Thank you very much!

We typically go to another park during the day & then hop over to the EMH evening park - as long as you reserve whichever park you are first going to for your AP & tap in there you’re good for hopping over to the EMH park. You can also usually change which park you have a reservation at in the app if you change your mind on where you want to go first - assuming crowds aren’t crazy.

And assuming their other guests without annual passes have park hopper tickets and not 1 park per day tickets

We will have premier pass for Epcot. Can we continue to use this if we still have rides left from our day? Thanks!

No.

When the park closes for the after hours event, the multi-pass, single pass, and premier passes are over and you would use the standby entrance.

Yeah, I kind of remember that! Thanks for the quick response. What is available to do for that time period? I haven't taken advantage in all my visits and thinking about it for sure this time!

Mostly just the rides, shops, and a few smaller popcorn-like stands will be open. Bigger stands (like all the stands around the world showcase at epcot) and sit down restaurants will mostly be closed

Again, TateBeck, thanks! Wondering if it's worth it? Wait times etc...going in May.

I always do it if it's available. Cooler in the evening and almost always are shorter wait times than during the day. MUCH less crowded paths as well

Also I'll add that I also like going because for some reason it entertains me to people watch and see people melt down when they are turned away when they are staying off site . Seen a few really good ones

Thank you. I have APs but my dd and grandchildren do not so this won't work I'm guessing.

Thank you for confirming what I thought.

Thank you all again!
