It has been announced this week that the popular Disney After Hours events are returning in January. Guests will be able to visit Disney's Magic Kingdom on select nights beginning January 9 and Disney's Hollywood Studios starting January 4, 2023.
Disney After Hours are separate ticketed events with limited availability, meaning wait times are usually lower than normal. Guests can experience three hours in the parks after regular closing, with entry from 7:00PM. To add that extra bit of magic, you can enjoy ice cream, popcorn and select beverages during the evening.
Tickets for Disney After Hours events go on sale for guests from Disney Resort hotels, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels as well as Shades of Green at Walt Disney World Resort on October 4 and on general sale from October 7. Prices range from $129 to $159 [plus tax].
Specially priced tickets are available for Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members are available for select dates.
For specific dates and to purchase tickets, visit the official website. Are you excited to see the return of Disney After Hours events at Disney's Magic Kingdom and Disney's Hollywood Studios? Let us know your thoughts by leaving us a comment below or on our Facebook page.
