Highlights of Disney After Hours events

Reduced waiting times for attractions

One of the most significant advantages of Disney After Hours events is the considerable reduction in waiting time for attractions. This feature is particularly attractive to visitors who want to make the most of their Walt Disney World Resort experience without the inconvenience of long lines. No need to budget extra for Genie + services for these evenings!

How does Disney reduce waiting times?

  • Limited number of tickets: Disney limits the number of tickets sold for each of these evenings. So plan to buy your tickets as soon as possible. Contact one of our travel consultants specializing in Disney Destinations.
  • Exclusive access to attractions: Evenings start between 21:30 and 22:00 depending on the park and end at 01:00AM. During these special hours, only event ticket holders can access attractions. This significantly reduces the number of people in queues and increases the availability of the most popular attractions.
  • Extended hours: Evening overtime means visitors can enjoy the attractions while the majority of the day’s visitors have left the park. Remember, the purchase of these tickets guarantees access to your chosen theme park from 19:00! You’ll be able to attend the night show and start your visit to the park almost 3 hours before the start of your special event!

Benefits for Visitors

  • Optimized experience: With reduced waiting times, you can experience more attractions in less time.
  • A more relaxed atmosphere: Fewer crowds also mean a more relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, allowing visitors to move around more freely and simply enjoy the magical atmosphere of Disney!
  • More time for each attraction: With less waiting to do an attraction, you’ll have more freedom to do it twice instead of once!

Snacks and Refreshments Included

Snacks such as Mickey Mouse ice cream and popcorn are available free of charge. Special kiosks are set up at several different locations in each theme park. You’ll also find free soft drinks.

Practical Information and Reservations

Tickets for Disney After Hours events must be purchased separately. If you have booked a Disney stay that includes the hotel, regular admission tickets and a meal package, the first thing to do is to check the exact dates of these exclusive evenings.

As these are exclusive evenings on specific dates, tickets are neither modifiable nor refundable. In other words, once you’ve bought them, you’ve got to go!

Once purchased, the tickets will be linked in your My Disney Experience application.

Please note: you are free to adjust the number of days of entry initially planned when booking your package.
