Wish you could experience even more magic and adventure in less time? Now you can with a ticket to the Disney After Hours events. There are many ways to enjoy the Walt Disney World Parks with fewer guests. Guests staying at select Deluxe Walt Disney World Resorts can enjoy Extended Evening Hours at both Magic Kingdom and EPCOT on select nights.

In 2023, came the return of the Disney After Hours events. These are separately ticketed events that allow guests to enter the park at 7 pm to get a head start on soaking up all of the late-night fun! Currently, these are offered on select dates for both Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Finally, another great event is the Moonlight Magic after-hours event for Disney Vacation Club Members. These events are free and fun! Guests get to access the park after it has closed for the day and also get free food and drinks.

You can also expect to see shorter than normal waits for attractions and even catch some rare characters! Be sure to read about my experience HERE. I (Heather) have been to several, and they never disappoint!

All of the After Hours events are a great place to see rare characters! You can even catch them at runDisney events.

Recently, Disney Vacation Club Members and their guests got to enjoy a Moonlight Magic Event at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park. These Guests were in for quite the treat!

Guests got to enjoy a dance party with Launchpad McQuack, Goofy and Scrooge McDuck over in DinoLand, U.S.A. Darkwing Duck was also doing a meet and greet in DinoLand!

We went to the moonlight magic at animal kingdom on 11 th . It was such fun but I would advise to decide before you go are you going for rides or characters/ dancing parties because it’s impossible to fit it all in ! You defo need a plan !!! We had older kids so did rides ( safari closes at 7 ) and had some amazing snacks ! I recommend the moose at satuii it was amazing !!!

Whenever we visit during these events, we prioritize as well. There is so much and so little time, you can never do it all. So glad you had a great time!
