Extended Evening Hours Coming to Hollywood Studios in December

Riding Slinky Dog Dash or Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance just got a little bit easier for select Disney World guests!  Hollywood Studios will offer Extended Evening Hours on December 15th and December 22, 2022!

Extended Evening Hours is a perk only available to  guests of Disney Deluxe Hotels or Villas which allows them to enjoy one park for an additional two hours after official park close on select nights. This gives park goers a chance to experience attractions with lower crowds and shorter waits. So far, Magic Kingdom and Epcot have been the only parks to consistently offer this benefit, but it seems Disney is testing it out at Hollywood Studios this December.

Remember that only guests of Disney Deluxe Hotels or Disney Deluxe Villas are eligible for Extended Evening Hours. Additionally, not all attractions may be open during this time.

All guests of Disney resorts are able to enter the theme parks 30 minutes ahead of non-resort guests, giving them a head start on experiencing all the magic Disney World has to offer!

 

 

SUSANNE HAYS

My love for Disney began when I was a young girl, and my parents took me to Disney with my brothers for a boy scout trip. During High School, I attended Benjamin Russell in Alexander City, AL, where I was a majorette in the band. We were given the opportunity to perform at Magic Kingdom during one of their parades, which was a dream come true and such an honor to have been chosen. Walt Disney’s vision was to dream, believe, dare, and do. I think this is still true today!

I began my travel experience at another home-based travel agency, where I learned about the travel business. During this time, my love for Disney and the magical experience Disney offered became the focus of my travel business.

The many years of experience in sales and the importance of customer service, loyalty, and dedication for every client to have a magical experience is when Fairytale Journeys, LLC was created. For the past 20 years, my family and I have visited Walt Disney World, Disney Cruise Line, and Aulani. I enjoy helping others plan their magical vacations to WDW. I give each client the personal service that they should have. I ensure everything is taken care of for their magical vacation from the beginning of the reservations to the end. That’s why it’s so important to book with a travel agent so that you can receive a personal touch on your vacation.

I am here to help my clients with dining reservations, itineraries, travel arrangements, and most of all, dedication to making sure that each of my clients receives the best price for their magical vacation!

I have an undergraduate degree in Fashion Merchandising and a Masters’s Degree in Elementary Education. I am married to Steve Hays from Huntsville, AL, and we have two boys, Wilson and Garren Hays.
