Disney World Adds More Dates for the After Hours Events

Disney World Adds More Dates for the After Hours Events


For a stress-free Disney or Universal Studios vacation, let the FREE expert planners at Royal Carriage Vacations take care of every detail including dining reservations, applying discounts, and onboard cruise credit.


After Hours are incredibly popular events at Disney World especially after their hiatus a few years ago. We are happy to see more dates added at all three parks that offer this event!

Disney After Hours are specially ticketed experiences that occur after the gates close for the night. They extend access to attractions and provide you with more opportunities to have a magical Disney experience.

Best of all, the number of tickets for these events is limited! This means lower wait times for some of your favorite attractions.

Do keep in mind, After Hours are different from Extended Evening Hours. Extended Evening Hours is a free benefit for Guests staying at select resorts. After Hours is a paid event that offers free popcorn, beverage, and other novelties.

Using a Travel Agent can help you navigate the ins and outs of planning! I am here to help! Please fill out this form and put my name (Monica) in the Special Request box.
