Now is the perfect time to plan to have more time in the park with fewer crowds! Check out the details of the 2025 After Hours events happening across three Disney World parks.
After Hours Events
After Hours at Disney are special ticketed events that take place after the park closes for the night. Event times at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT are from 10 pm to 1 am. At Hollywood Studios, event times are from 9:30 pm to 12:30 am. And you can enter the parks as early as 7 pm to make the most of the night with your friends and family.
(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, meet some of your favorite characters, and enjoy complimentary snacks such as ice cream, popcorn, and select drinks.
