Disney After Hours Returns to Walt Disney World for 2024

Calling all night owls! Disney After Hours events are returning in 2024 to Walt Disney World Resort with late-night magic at three theme parks—Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom Park, and EPCOT.

Beginning Jan. 10, guests can enjoy extended access to top attractions, beloved characters, and unlimited snacks during these separately ticketed events. Disney After Hours lets a limited number of guests explore the parks after closing, offering short wait times, complimentary treats, and unique nighttime entertainment.

Why Disney After Hours?

There’s something extra magical about Disney Parks at night. Whether it’s the shimmering lights on Cinderella Castle or the glow of Spaceship Earth, the atmosphere is unforgettable. At Disney After Hours, you get three extra hours after the park closes to soak in the ambiance with reduced crowds and shorter lines.

Event tickets include unlimited ice cream novelties, popcorn, and select beverages, plus access to iconic attractions and character greetings. Guests can also enter the park as early as 7 p.m.—giving you even more time to enjoy the magic.
