What is an After Hours Event?
Walt Disney World will let guests enter the park for a nighttime of fun with THREE extra hours after park closing, to ride attractions, fill up on Disney snacks, and enjoy a quieter park experience. We haven’t seen an After Hours Event like this in a while!
In fact, due to Hurricane Ian, an exciting Disney World After Hours event was just pushed back. You can read all about that in Susan’s post HERE! Thankfully, this After Hours event starting in January will not be happening during Florida’s hurricane season!
When is this happening?
The Disney After Hours events are separately ticketed events that allow guests to enter the park at 7pm to get a head start on soaking up all of the late-night fun!
