Delxue resort guests--including those at Disney Vacation Club properties--will receive late night theme park hours in 2026, along with select periods of free water park access.
Disney Extended Evening hours are set to continue into 2026. The late night theme park perk provides Disney Deluxe resort guests with two extra hours inside Disney parks twice a week. The perk is most routinely offered at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT. However, during the fall holiday seasons, Extended Evening Hours at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney's Animal Kingom are occasionally substituted for one of the other parks.
Early entry will also return for those staying at any Disney owned-and-operated resort. All four theme parks support early entry on a daily basis, with 30 minutes of early access to attractions for those with a qualifying hotel reservation.
Finally, free waterpark access on check-in days will return in the new year. However, complimentary water park access is billed as "subject to availablity" with schedules to be published at a later date. The perk debuted in 2025 as a year-round offering for those staying at Disney hotels and timeshares. 2026's variation is billed as a "summer" perk with details TBD.
For the first time since before the COVID-19 pandemic, both Disney's Blizzard Beach and Disney's Typhoon Lagoon are due to remain open simultaneously from late-May through early-September 2025. Operating schedules for 2026 will not be known for some time.
All guests staying on Disney Vacation Club points qualify for these perks, regardless of whether points were purchased direct from DVC or via resale. Even non-members renting points or staying as a quest are eligible to participate in Extended Evening Hours, Early Entry and the free water park access.
