Disney World After Hours at Magic Kingdom Sells Out Quickly: What You Need to Know

Disney After Hours provides guests with an exclusive opportunity to experience Magic Kingdom in a more intimate, less crowded setting. This special event allows visitors to enjoy some of the park’s most popular attractions, meet beloved characters, and enjoy complimentary snacks such as ice cream, popcorn, and select beverages.

Event Timing and Access The event officially runs from 10 PM to 1 AM, but guests can enter the park as early as 7 PM. This gives attendees extra time to explore the park before the event officially begins. With fewer guests in the park during this time, you’ll be able to enjoy more attractions and experiences with significantly shorter wait times than during the day.

Complimentary Snacks One of the standout features of Disney After Hours is the included complimentary snacks. Throughout the event, guests can indulge in free ice cream, popcorn, and select beverages. These treats are included in the price of your ticket, so there’s no need to worry about purchasing extra snacks while enjoying the event.

Since first stepping inside the Magic Kingdom at nine years old, I knew I was destined to be a theme Park enthusiast. Although I consider myself a theme Park junkie, I still have much to learn and discover about Disney. Universal Orlando Resort has my heart; being an Annual Passholder means visiting my favorite places on Earth when possible! When I’m not writing about Disney, Universal, or entertainment news, you’ll find me cruising on my motorcycle, hiking throughout my local metro parks, or spending quality time with my girlfriend, family, or friends.
