The popular Disney World After Hours events are RETURNING in 2025!
Hollywood Studios at Night
If you’re a night owl looking for a way to enjoy the parks with minimal crowds, Disney World has the perfect experience for you! In 2025, After Hours events are returning to Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios once again. These limited-ticket events allow guests to enjoy low crowds at the parks and short wait times for some of the most popular attractions.
What if we told you there was a way to stay in the Magic Kingdom after dark, enjoy FREE popcorn and Mickey bars, and walk right onto your favorite rides with no wait? Sounds like a dream, right?

Well, you can make that dream a reality! Recently, Disney confirmed that its popular After Hours events will return in 2025, and tickets are available to purchase now. But before you go running to the Disney World website, you might want to read this first.

Cosmic Rewind
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is a new-ish roller coaster in EPCOT. The coaster opened in May 2022, and it’s been SUPER popular ever since.

However, that rule goes out the window during EPCOT After Hours events! [Read more…]
