Disney After Hours Expanding To Animal Kingdom And Hollywood Studios With A Lot Of New Dates
A few years ago, Walt Disney World introduced a brand new event that guests could pay an extra cost to attend and it is called “Disney After Hours.” The hard ticket event allows guests to spend extra time in Magic Kingdom with very few others and enjoy all of the wonderful things that the park has to offer. Now, the fun has expanded as dates for the late-night fun have been revealed for Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Guests will be able to enter the park at 7 p.m. on their specific night and enjoy the park as it is. Once their official “Disney After Hours” time begins, the park will quickly begin to empty out and leave it to around 3,000 people usually at the very most.
Yes, the tickets for these events are very limited and are known to sell out.
During the event, guests can enjoy numerous rides and attractions throughout the park with very little wait. Those attending will also be able to enjoy popcorn, ice cream, and select beverages at no additional cost as they are included in your “Disney After Hours” ticket.
On Monday, the Disney Parks Blog revealed that this popular event will no longer be limited to only Magic Kingdom. Beginning on November 15, 2018, tickets will go on sale for numerous dates into 2019 for both Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Walt Disney World always brings about new ways to have fun and make your trip more magical. “Disney After Hours” has been doing that at Magic Kingdom for a couple of years, but now, guests can enjoy the late-night fun at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom as well. These special event nights will not affect Extra Magic Hours or regular park hours in any fashion, and that just makes them even better.
