by 2019 and 2020 After Hour event dates for Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom have been added!
Walt Disney World’s extended After Hours events are a great way to attend the parks with limited crowds, much shorter wait times, and even complimentary snacks! After Hours are available for the Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom parks on select dates.
Overall, the event is great. You might only wait 5-10 minutes for a ride like Avatar: Flight of Passage which can have 2-3 hour waits even on slow days. Most attractions are in operation at the parks, however, parades and other shows may not run (though a showing of Rivers of Light: We Are One does take place at Animal Kingdom). It’s also a great time to see the bioluminescence around Pandora!
The event is just 3 hours, from 10PM – 1AM, but guests get early access to the parks early beginning at 7PM! We also love the complimentary snacks Disney provides like ice cream bars, popcorn, and sodas.
Tickets are $129 presale for adults with the price increasing to $139 on the day-of. Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members also get tickets for $99, which is about a 25-30% discount.
