After Hours at Disney are special ticketed events that take place after the park closes for the night. Guests have three hours of extra park time! Note that this is different from Extended Evening Hours, where guests staying at Disney's Deluxe Resorts have additional night hours in the parks.

After Hours allows you to experience shorter wait times for attractions and enjoy complimentary snacks such as ice cream, popcorn, and select drinks.
