September 27, 2022 Darren Wittko

Disney After Hours events will return to Walt Disney World Resort starting January 2023!

These experiences are scheduled to kick off January 4 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and January 9 at Magic Kingdom Park.

Disney After Hours events at Disney’s Hollywood Studios are scheduled for select nights, January 4 through April 19, 2023.

In case you aren’t familiar with Disney After Hours, these late-night, separately ticketed events let you enjoy a Walt Disney World theme park for 3 additional hours after regular park hours, with treats such as ice cream, popcorn and select beverages included.

The number of tickets for these events is limited, which means lower wait times for some of your favorite attractions.

At Magic Kingdom Park, this means Guests can enjoy more than 20 popular attractions such as Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, Space Mountain and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.

At Disney’s Hollywood Studios Guests can pilot the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, ride through a zany cartoon adventure in Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, shrink to the size of a toy in Toy Story Land and more.

With Disney After Hours tickets, Guests can enter the park where the event is taking place as early as 7 p.m. giving them the opportunity to get a jump on the fun!

Disney After Hours admission is a separately priced ticket not included with regular daytime park admission.

Event tickets for Magic Kingdom Park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios can be purchased by all guests starting October 7, 2022, with prices ranging from $129 to $159 (plus tax).

Guests of select Walt Disney World Resort hotels can begin purchasing Disney After Hours tickets as early as October 4.

The advance-purchase window is available to Guests of Disney Resort hotels, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels as well as Shades of Green at Walt Disney World Resort.

Disney Vacation Club members and Walt Disney World Annual Passholders can also purchase specially priced tickets for select dates.

Disney After Hours events at Magic Kingdom Park are scheduled for select nights, January 9 through March 27, 2023.
