And, while we’ve already given you pro tips on the FastPass system, you’re especially going to want to remember this one if you’re heading to a hard-ticket event this year!
There has been a developing trend in recent years at the Disney theme parks…and it’s all about $$$. Magical upgrades and special separate-ticket events are becoming more and more prevalent.
Many of these offerings fall under Disney’s “Enchanting Extras Collection,” a growing array of unique dining options, dessert parties, and Disney VIP experiences, to name a few.

We totally get it — Disney World is WAY expensive no matter how you shake it, so it’s hard to try and justify shelling out your hard-earned cash for something ELSE on top of the oodles of money you’re already spending. But at least one of these options MAY make sense for you…and we’re going to take you through a few potential options that could make your trip that much more magical.
Disney After Hours events
offer guests the opportunity to enjoy certain Disney World parks after closing. Limited guest capacity for these events allows guests to enjoy popular park attractions with little-to-no wait. Another benefit of these extra-ticket events is complimentary ice cream, popcorn and select beverages included in your admission.
