food IS a theme park
UPDATED August 30, 2024
After Hours events are a fantastic way to explore the Disney World parks with nearly no one around, experience some of your favorite attractions, and eat some free snacks for a few hours.
EPCOT After Hours are BACK for 2024!
It comes at a pretty high price tag, but many guests feel the experience is well worth the cost. If you’re planning to experience one of these events this year, you need to know that these dates are SOLD OUT!
Disney World brought its After Hours events back to the parks for 2024.
Tower of Terror
These events are taking place in three of the four parks — Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT. At the After Hours events you can have extra time to ride all the rides without the extra crowds and wait times. They also offer complimentary treats like Mickey ice cream bars, popcorn, and soda. Up until recently, the events this year haven’t been overly popular (which helps keep the wait times down), but now we noticed that a couple of nights have sold out a one of the parks!
The Disneyland events calendar is pretty darn stacked for 2024!
Disney Channel Nite!
And, we got to experience a brand-new one for the very first time recently. That’s right — Disney Channel Nite is officially here! The new After Hours event promises a ton of music, memorable characters, high-energy parties, unique photo opportunities, and more, and right now, we’re checking out the characters!
We’re coming at you LIVE from an exclusive Disney World event!
EPCOT at night
EPCOT After Hours is back and we’re bringing you along as we experience all this separately ticketed event has to offer. If you’re a fan of all things attractions, free snacks, and rare character sightings, well — After Hours might be for you. But, one of the best parts about these events is the low crowd levels, so let’s see how busy EPCOT is tonight!
EPCOT After Hours is back, baby! We’re live from the first event of 2024.
Hello from EPCOT!
These events are perfect for fans of LOW wait times at classic attractions, meeting characters, and FREE SNACKS! Of course, these things are well and good, but if you ask us — it’s the low wait times that really make these events worth it. So, what sort of wait times are we working with tonight?
Have you ever been to an After Hours event in Disney World?
Magic Kingdom After Hours
If you’re a big “run and ride” kind of Disney fan, these types of events are MADE for you. You purchase a ticket and come into the parks in the evening, then you get a few hours after it closes to enjoy several attractions with incredibly low wait times. If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, then we have an important update!
Free snacks. Rare characters. Walk-on rides. Sounds like a dream, right?
After Hours event in Hollywood Studios
Well, your dream can come true thanks to Disney World After Hours events! These exclusive, separately ticketed events are a great way to experience all that and more — and Disney just added even MORE event dates throughout this year. Let’s check it all out!
Disney’s After Hours events are practically a hidden gem in plain sight. It’s going to be really hard to convince us otherwise. These events boast drastically reduced crowds, rare character appearances, most if not all rides and attractions open for enjoyment, and there are even complimentary snacks!

However, food is the one place with these events where we can get a little squirrely. There are pros and cons to any event that Disney holds and this one point is certainly no exception. We’ve already attended After Hours events this year in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom and places to eat (and what was served) seem to be our dividing point. [Read more…]
We’re doing Disney World a little DIFFERENTLY today. We talk about Magic Kingdom a LOT around here, but it’s not too often we find ourselves in the park for exclusive hard-ticket events, like Disney After Hours. But like we said, today is SPECIAL! We’re at the FIRST 2024 Magic Kingdom After Hours event, and we’re taking YOU along for the ride!
Welcome to the Magic Kingdom
During an After Hours event, you can check out 20+ Magic Kingdom attractions without the lines! This exclusive event is offered on select nights from January 11th through April 8th, 2024. So, what’s included in the price of a ticket? Come with us to find out!
OK, we’re gonna be honest. It’s a little strange rolling up to the Magic Kingdom park entrance AFTER sunset. It’s not every day that you get to drive through the Magic Kingdom gates in the DARK. So, what brings us out to Disney World at this late hour? We’re here to PARTY at a Disney After Hours event at Magic Kingdom!
Let’s PARTY!
As you can probably guess from the name, Magic Kingdom’s After Hours event is a specially ticketed event where guests can enjoy Magic Kingdom attractions WITHOUT the typical lines and crowds! The event is currently offered on select nights from January 11th through April 8th, 2024. Of course, one of the biggest questions people ask is, “What are the crowds REALLY like during an After Hours event?” Well, we’re here to show you!
