How Disney After Hours Tickets Work
Disney After Hours is a ticketed event at Walt Disney World Resort that allows guests to enjoy the parks after they close to the public:
When
After Hours events take place in the evening after the park closes. Guests can enter the park as early as 7 PM and stay until 1 AM.
What
Guests can enjoy shorter wait times for attractions, meet Disney characters, and eat complimentary snacks and drinks. Some events may also include DJ dance parties, trick-or-treating, or seasonal nighttime shows.
Where
After Hours events take place at Magic Kingdom Park, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT.
Tickets
Tickets for After Hours events are limited, so guests can expect shorter wait times.
