food IS a theme park
Listen, if you ever get the chance, you’ve gotta go to an exclusive Disney World event!
Magic Kingdom After Hours
Speaking of exclusive events, Magic Kingdom After Hours are back! We thought we’d give you an idea of what this separately ticketed event has to offer. So let’s break down everything that’s included in the ticket!
Have you ever been to an exclusive Disney World event?
Magic Kingdom at Night
Well, guess what? Magic Kingdom After Hours are back! We thought we’d bring you along so you can get an idea of what this separately ticketed event has to offer. If you’re jumping at the chance to experience attractions with super low wait times, enjoy free snacks, and meet rare characters, then you’re seriously going to want to check out After Hours. All of those things are great, but undoubtedly one of THE best “perks” about events like this has to be the low crowd levels. Don’t believe me that there could be low crowds at Magic Kingdom? Well, let’s show you how busy Magic Kingdom is tonight!
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!
It’s no secret that the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is one of Disney World’s biggest events of the year.
Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin
With dozens of food booths serving cuisine from around the globe, this festival is MASSIVE and draws in countless visitors each year. But did you know that there’s a SECOND Food & Wine event in Disney World? And you don’t even need a park ticket to attend!
It’s officially that time of year — Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party (MVMCP) has kicked off in Magic Kingdom!

This is really the main event where we ring in the holiday season and start celebrating all things holly and jolly. With Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade, complimentary cookies and cocoa, rare character meets, and more exclusive offerings, this party is usually a festive blast! But there’s one problem we’ve been noticing the past few years that we need to talk about.
Disney hosted one of the biggest events of the year a few months ago, and we got a LOT of important information about upcoming projects.
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event took place in Anaheim back in August, and it was filled with a weekend of panels discussing upcoming movies, TV series, and theme park projects. It’s a great way to celebrate Disney if you’re a big fan, and it usually comes with some major announcements. If you’re already eager to get more important Disney news, then you need to know about a similar event happening soon!
In my four years working for Disney Food Blog, I’ve been to a LOT of hard-ticketed events.
2022 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
Some of those offerings were for work, while others were for fun (we DFB employees are die-hard Disney fans just like you guys!); some of them were in Disney World, while others were in Disneyland Resort (Disney Channel Nite was a BLAST, y’all). But the ones I’ve done the most are the Disney World holiday parties! I’ve been to all three of them at this point, and I’ve got some hot tips to share.

Hurricane Helene is heading for Florida, set to hit the coast on Thursday evening. However, if you’re currently vacationing in Disney World, it will likely impact your trip as well. Especially because Disney has now canceled a special event.

If you do your best theme parking late at night, there are plenty of ways to accomplish your goals long after dark. From holiday parties to Extended Evening Hours, we’ve spent plenty of late nights in the parks. And if that’s your plan, you’ll be happy to know that a popular event is returning for 2025!
We’re coming at you LIVE from an exclusive Disney World event!
