Have you ever been to an After Hours event in Disney World?
If you’re a big “run and ride” kind of Disney fan, these types of events are MADE for you. You purchase a ticket and come into the parks in the evening, then you get a few hours after it closes to enjoy several attractions with incredibly low wait times. If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, then we have an important update!
A few weeks ago, Disney announced that they’d be adding more After Hours dates to the calendar for 2024. Here’s a look at the new dates for After Hours events in each park:
- Magic Kingdom: January 11th to June 27th, 2024 (previously April 8th)
- EPCOT: February 2nd to July 18th, 2024 (previously April 4th)
- Hollywood Studios: January 10th to August 29th, 2024 (previously April 10th)
The events will take place on select nights each week, and if you’re interested in purchasing tickets, they’re now available online! As of January 31st, all Disney World visitors can purchase After Hours tickets for April and later dates.
Tickets vary in price depending on which park you visit and which date you choose, but EPCOT After Hours starts at $149 per person, Hollywood Studios After Hours starts at $145 per person, and Magic Kingdom After Hours starts at $165 per person.
Outside of the short ride lines, there are other big perks to going to an After Hours event. Included with your ticket are complimentary snacks and drinks — popcorn, ice cream novelties, and bottled beverages from snack carts around the parks. At Hollywood Studios, the event included some rare character sightings, and at Magic Kingdom, we got to see TWO fireworks shows in one night, as they showed Disney Enchantment during the event and Happily Ever After beforehand.
If you want to visit one of these events, remember that tickets are limited, so hurry up and grab them now! We’ll keep you in the loop with any more updates.
