Do you want to know one of our favorite tricks to riding as many Disney World attractions as possible in a single day?
Magic Kingdom
Nope, we’re not talking about hitting the parks for rope drop or using Lightning Lanes, we’re here to talk about Disney After Hours! These events are offered on select nights throughout the year, and with your ticket, you’ll have access to the park of your choice after it closes for the day. With After Hours, we’ve been able to knock out SO many rides with short wait times, and it looks like people are starting to catch on to the appeal!
Disney After Hours events return to Disney World in 2025, and now, the first event of the year is SOLD OUT. Magic Kingdom After Hours events start on January 6th, and that date is now completely booked.
Fewer crowds at After Hours events!
If you’d like to go to After Hours at Magic Kingdom, tickets are still available for most Monday nights through May 19th. Prices range from $175-$185 per adult. You can also currently purchase tickets for After Hours at Hollywood Studios and EPCOT, available through the Disney World website or My Disney Experience app.
An empty Magic Kingdom during After Hours
After Hours events typically take place during the first part of the year, before the holiday season parties really kick off. This year, they’ll be running a little bit into the fall at EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. At Hollywood Studios, After Hours will take place on select nights from January 22nd-September 3rd. At EPCOT, you can attend After Hours on select nights from February 27th-September 25th.
Hi, Mickey!
During this events, you’ll get access to many rides in the park (with shorter waits than usual), as well as complimentary snacks and drinks like bottled sodas, water, ice cream novelties, and popcorn. Some of these events also offer exclusive entertainment or character meets.
Popcorn
If you’ve got a group who doesn’t like to wake up for rope drop, skipping a park ticket for the day and doing an After Hours event instead is a great way to get your park hours in. We highly recommend checking out one of these events if you haven’t done it before!
