Does Fort Wilderness count for extended hours?

Extended Evening Hours are an added benefit for Guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts and Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts. While the Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney's Wilderness Lodge are included, the cabins at Fort Wilderness Resort are not.



As of 2026, the eligibility for Extended Evening Theme Park Hours at Walt Disney World depends on the specific type of accommodation you book at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort. Guests staying at The Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort (which are now part of the Disney Vacation Club) do qualify for this perk, as they are considered "Deluxe Villa" accommodations. However, guests staying at The Campsites at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort generally do not qualify for Extended Evening Hours, as the campsites are classified as "Value" accommodations. All guests at Fort Wilderness, including those at the campsites, still receive the Early Theme Park Entry benefit, allowing them into any of the four parks 30 minutes before the general public every day. Extended Evening Hours are a highly coveted "Deluxe-tier" benefit that allows guests to stay in select parks (typically Magic Kingdom or EPCOT) for two extra hours on specific nights, offering significantly shorter wait times for top-tier attractions.
