Disney After Hours is officially returning to Disney World in 2025! These special ticketed events allow you to explore the parks with shorter wait times, meet some of your favorite characters, and enjoy FREE snacks and drinks.
This popular event will return to Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT in 2025. Along with the event, the fireworks in Magic Kingdom will drastically change beginning January 6th, 2025.
In addition to enjoying select attractions with lower wait times, attendees can also see an exclusive showing of the Disney Enchantment fireworks during the After Hours event! And if you arrive early for the event, you can catch BOTH the Happily Ever After and Disney Enchantment fireworks. That is TWO fireworks shows in one night!
The Disney Enchantment fireworks debuted in Magic Kingdom in 2021 as part of Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration. After the 50th anniversary celebration, the fireworks were replaced by the Happily Ever After fireworks. You can’t see Disney Enchantment at Magic Kingdom right now, but soon, you can see it during Disney After Hours!
Disney Enchantment will ONLY be available during Disney After Hours, so if you want to see the fireworks show inside of Magic Kingdom, you will need to purchase an After Hours ticket. You can also see views of the fireworks from areas surrounding Magic Kingdom, including nearby hotels. However, the best view of the whole show will be from inside the Magic Kingdom.
After Hours will be taking place in Magic Kingdom on the following dates in 2025:
- January 6th, 13th, 20th, and 27th
- February 3rd, 10th, 17th, and 24th
- March 3rd, 17th, 24th, and 31st
- April 7th and 28th
- May 5th, 12th, and 19th
While the event takes place from 10PM to 1AM, you can get into the park as early as 7PM for three more hours of fun. During the event, you can grab complimentary ice cream novelties, popcorn, and select bottled beverages. Tickets range in price from $175-$185 per person, depending on the event date. Tickets are available for purchase RIGHT NOW!

While I’m sure the after hours will rock, my family will not be attending. In recent times, we purchased hard tickets events with the promise of lower crowds and wait times. We DID NOT find this to be true. For those attending, we wish you a wonderful time!

One thing I wish Disney would stop doing is changing the way the parks are run like things that cost more money and more rules. It’s happening way too much. It’s getting depressing.
