Disney's Hollywood Studios has been added to the Walt Disney World Extended Evening Theme Park Hours schedule beginning this spring.

Disney's Hollywood Studios will be open for an additional 2 hours for resort guests starting April 2022.

The first Extended Evening hours date at Disney's Hollywood Studios is April 13 2022, from 9pm to 11pm. Attraction availability has yet to be announced.

Rise of the Resistance may be available during the Extended Evening Hours

Since launching fall 2021, Extended Evening hours have only been offered at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, with Disney's Animal Kingdom and Disney's Hollywood Studios only taking part in the early morning offering.

It isn't clear yet what will happen with the Magic Kingdom nights in April, with the schedule so far listing Magic Kingdom on April 6, EPCOT on April 11, and Hollywood Studios on April 13.

Cause they’re trying to sell it to you for $28 an hour later?

It’s a matter of budgeting. As I said, they’ve opened it for EE in the past.

Is there any justification for TRON not being open for Early Entry, or is it strictly a cost cutting measure? For Tiana’s early closure and not offering it for Extended Evening Hours, they can at least pretend they’re doing maintenance on it

It has already operated during EE during peak weeks. Experienced it myself.

A random woman on TikTok claims the new approach includes Fantasyland. She didn't have video proof so not quite verifiable

I’d think it’s like a 99% chance

Could this be in anticipation of adding Tron to early entry?

So fantasyland was still roped off? was there a new rope (or 2?) between tomorrowland and fantasyland?

Probably an after hours park buyout at EPCOT that night.

According to updated park hours, Extended Evening Hours will occur at Disney's Animal Kingdom on May 5, 2025, instead of EPCOT.
