After Hours Events are officially back in Disney World, and they’ve kicked off with After Hours at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. These are ticketed events that allow guests to have a few extra hours in the parks.
We’ve been keeping a close eye on all the dates that sell out for these events, and have reported on what Disney has said will be available at these events. Now it’s time to see for ourselves what you can experience after hours!
Tickets cost anywhere from $139 per person to $149 depending on when you attend. So we wanted to explore what all is included in the cost of that ticket! It’s a 3-hour event that typically takes place from 9:30PM-12:30AM but your ticket should get you access into the park at 7PM. This of course can change depending on park hours and when the event is taking place.
The following attractions should be open during the event.

- Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway
