Disney After Hours events are back, and night owls, this is your time to shine! Starting from Jan. 10 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Jan. 11 at Magic Kingdom, and Feb. 2 at EPCOT, these events offer plenty of late-night fun.

If you're a Walt Disney World fan, then you know that there's nothing like getting some extra time in the parks after closing. Disney After Hours events offer guests a chance to explore the theme parks like never before, with shorter wait times for attractions.

These separately ticketed events give guests three hours of after-hours fun, where they can ride their favorite attractions, meet beloved characters, and enjoy unlimited snacks - all included in the ticket price.

The magic of Walt Disney World Resort at night is truly something special. With Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom Park lighting up the night and Spaceship Earth at EPCOT looking more colorful than ever, nighttime is the perfect time to experience the magic of Disney.

Disney After Hours events allow guests to enjoy Magic Kingdom Park, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT after they officially close for the day, offering shorter wait times for select attractions and character experiences. Guests can indulge in ice cream novelties, popcorn, and select beverages at a variety of locations throughout the park each event night.

Event times at Disney’s Hollywood Studios are from 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., while event times at Magic Kingdom Park and EPCOT are from 10 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. Guests can enter the park beginning at 7 p.m. to make the most of their night of fun with family and friends.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios After Hours events will take place from Jan. 10 through April 10, 2024. Enjoy Toy Story Land, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, among other favorites.

Magic Kingdom Park’s After Hours events will take place on select nights starting from Jan. 11 through April 8, 2024. Guests can enjoy more than 20 attractions and experiences, including TRON Lightcycle / Run, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, and Jungle Cruise.
