Disney After Hours events offer guests the chance to enjoy the parks after closing hours at three Disney World Parks: Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Limited guest capacity for these events allows guests to enjoy popular park attractions with little-to-no wait.

I’ve been waiting for these dates! I’m so glad they’ve been announced! I can’t find where to actually purchase for these dates though, am I missing something?
I remember when it used to be a perk of staying on property. We loved those days. We got to ride all the rides we didn’t get to do during the day. It’s just not worth the money to my family.
Felicia, Extra Magic Hours are still a perk for Resort guests, and After Hours is a separate experience.
I was hoping to see more after hours events for Hollywood Studios.
The dates don’t seem to be up on WDW’s website yet? Tickets aren’t yet available- do you know when they will be?
Samantha, you’re right. We’ll have to wait and see when they open! We’ll update!
Still waiting on October! Please!
What’s are the hours?
AL, After Hours ticket holders can enter the Park beginning at 7. The actual event is 10PM to 1AM. (Of course, subject to change at Disney’s whim, but we’ll update if it does!)
Touringplans had a blog comment in July regarding 50 minute waits for FoP at the AK after hours events. Joseph who wrote the review on the event commented that FoP wasn’t running at capacity anymore for the event due to downtime the day after – AJ do you know if this is the case? Thanks
