Extended Evening Hours are back at Disney's Hollywood Studios for five nights this fall, starting Saturday, September 30, 2023.

The additional two hours at Disney's Hollywood Studios exclusively for Walt Disney World deluxe resort hotel guests features nine attractions, but surprisingly omits one of the most popular rides at Walt Disney World, "Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance."

Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will not be available during Extended Evening Hours

Here is the full Extended Evening Hours attraction line-up for Disney's Hollywood Studios:

Alien Swirling Saucers
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run
MuppetVision 3D
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith
Slinky Dog Dash
Star Tours – The Adventures Continue

Disney recently expanded the benefit beyond EPCOT and Magic Kingdom with several evenings at Disney's Hollywood Studios on September 30, October 5, October 11, October 19 and October 25, 2023, the moving to Disney's Animal Kingdom in November. Extended Evening Hours are on hold at Magic Kingdom as the park enters the seasonal hard ticket event period.

Please correct me if it's not the plan but I would not be shocked if July 3-5th were soft Opens. Spectro & MSEP were always later in the Night on July 3-4th...

Yes, we know! 7pm-12am! LOL!

Have you heard the good news about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party?!?!

Disgruntled Walt2 days ago

I don't suppose there's any chance they actually keep MK open until Midnight once Starlight begins? I mean, I'll take 11pm, but it would be great to get on some rides during that last hour while the parade is going. I don't know when MK was last open until 12am, but I don't think it ever was during my visits.

I assume they will want a few full run-throughs after the park closes before it officially starts. It’s been so long since a new parade, I have no idea if there are usually previews for the “usual” groups, or just for CMs. Maybe some of our CM members will be able to answer that.

Because it emptied out everyday well before that and they’re not in the business to pay to keep things open?

I've been wondering, If we're not expecting Starlight till after the 4th why move July 2nd to AK??? Might MK be planning some sort of Preview on the 2nd?

DHS would be far more preferable

Well expect no MK probably until January. MK usually goes on hiatus when the Halloween and Christmas parties start.

I'm quite disappointed at this news, actually. I (wrongly) assumed things would go back to the way they were back when Spectro & MSEP were there. They had EMH when those parades were there. And there's barely anything to do at Animal Kingdom.
