Disney After Hours Events Kick Off In January 2024

Disney After Hours resumes in January 2024, offering guests at Walt Disney World Resort a variety of nighttime fun for the whole family. During event nights, guests can experience three additional hours of entertainment at Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and EPCOT. These separately ticketed events allow guests to experience attractions and character interactions underneath the stars.

Disney After Hours takes place from January to April, after the parks officially close for the day. Early arrivals can access the parks beginning at 7pm. During these special nights, ticket holders can experience shorter wait times for their favorite attractions and character interactions.
