Posted: Tuesday June 6, 2023 2:16pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney has added two more offsite hotels to the list of hotels eligible for Early Morning Hours at their theme parks in Walt Disney World through 2024.

Guests staying at Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek and Waldorf Astoria Orlando will now be able to enter the parks 30 minutes before regular opening as part of Early Entry through 2024.

B Resort & Spa Lake Buena Vista, and Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando Lake Buena Vista are currently only offering Early Entry through 2023. However, with negotiations underway between the operators and Disney, they will likely be extended through 2024.

WDW is literally being run by the spiritual successors of John Hammond.

Remember, Splash was renovated by the same crew who built Rise of the Resistance...

Splash was never removed from the EH inventory. Yet another way they diminish the value proposition of their offerings.

Millions of dollars spent but not to increase capacity. That’s the humour.

Poof. As of last night, Disney removed mention of Tiana's Bayou Adventure on the available attraction list during Extended Evening Hours from both MDX and the website.

I wouldn't draw any conclusions. The only truly safe bet is Epcot will have Monday EEH. Last year, they switched away from MK to DHS/AK/Epcot during the holiday stretch and sometimes used Thursdays instead of Wednesdays. Or had a 2nd Epcot EEH on Thursdays. Best bet is watch the rolling 70 day calendar unless Disney confirms the further out dates which they did with AK last year.

Not necessarily. They could go with two Epcot evenings instead. Fingers crossed for DHS though.

So for the holiday season, there's only one Wednesday where there is a party and thats 11/27. Safe to say that is when HS will be extended and only on that date?

In an update to park hours, Disney has confirmed Extended Evening Hours return to Hollywood Studios on Wednesday, September 25, 2024:

The Cabins used to be lumped in as a Moderate, so it's nice to see a change with the higher price point. I would love Evening Hours to come back for other Resorts. Now with the parks opening so very early, and closing relatively early, I imagine a lot of the early rope droppers, especially with kids, wouldn't make it to late night. Just last week, the parks were opening at 7 and 730am (except for Epcot) which sure is early when you do it day after day.
