Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a Disney park to yourself and eat as many Mickey Ice Cream bars as you want? Well, that's essentially how it feels attending a Disney After Hours Event! After Hours events include little to no wait time to get on rides, unlimited soft drinks, premium ice cream bars, and popcorn! Not to mention, you never know what characters you'll bump into!
Hollywood Studios
On select nights beginning January 10th and continuing through April 10th, guests can play in Andy's Backyard, explore a galaxy far, far away, and climb aboard a runaway train. Hollywood Studios After Hours is from 9:30 PM to 12:30 AM, but guests with an after-hours event ticket can enter the park as early as 7 PM. Hollywood Studios is notorious for having long wait times during the day, and After Hours is the perfect opportunity to walk right on to rides like Rise of the Resistance, Slinky Dog Dash, and Minnie and Mickey's Runaway Railway, which generally have wait times that are at least an hour long! We highly recommend grabbing dinner once you enter the park because most quick-service locations do close down at the time that the park regularly closes, but you can enjoy complimentary snacks and drinks throughout the park.
Magic Kingdom
Experience the nighttime spectaculars "Happily Ever After" and "Enchantment" all in one night when you attend a Magic Kingdom After Hours Event! Beginning January 11th and continuing through April 8th on select nights, guests can enjoy Magic Kingdom with little to no wait times from 10 PM to 1 AM, but can enter the park as early as 7 PM. Rides like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Jungle Cruise will be open all night, and guests can even experience TRON Lightcycle/Run in a standby line! Yes, you heard that right! You don't need a VIRTUAL QUEUE! To experience both fireworks shows, you will have to be in the park before 8 PM.
EPCOT
Beginning February 2nd through April 4th on select nights, After Hours event guests can Save the Galaxy on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, design their dream car on Test Track, soar away on Soarin', and ride Remy's Ratatouille Adventure with little to no wait times from 10 PM to 1 AM. While some of the rides and dining locations in the park will not be open all night, guests can enjoy all of the rides and dining in the park beginning at 7 PM. We highly recommend eating a meal before the park closes to the general public and enjoying the unlimited treats once the event begins.
Resort guests will gain early access to purchasing After Hours Event tickets, so we highly recommend making your resort reservation before that purchasing window opens on November 7th. Only a handful of tickets are sold for After Hours Events to give guests an opportunity to enjoy low wait times, so take advantage of purchasing these tickets early before they sell out! Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members may receive discounted tickets depending on the night of their choosing.
