Disney After Hours is pretty amazing with little-to-no wait time for favorite attractions and experiences at Magic Kingdom Park, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We have more good news, additional Disney After Hours dates are now available and two special celebration nights are coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Here are the new dates for each park at the Walt Disney World Resort:
- Magic Kingdom: May 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30.
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom: May 7, 14 and 21; and June 4, 11 and 18.
- Disney’s Hollywood Studios: May 1, 4, 10, 17, 24 and 31; and June 14, 21 and 28.
And at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, there are two special celebration nights:
May 1 – You can celebrate Disney’s Hollywood Studios 30th anniversary with special anniversary merchandise, additional character greetings and more food & beverage offerings to purchase.
May 4 – You can celebrate May the Fourth dressed in their best galactic Star Wars attire.* Experience epic Character Encounters including Chewbacca with REY, Darth Vadar, Kylo Ren with CAPTAIN PHASMA, Ewoks, Jawas and imperial stormtroopers. Plus, specialty treats available for purchase. *Be sure your costume fits within park guidelines.
If you aren’t familiar with Disney After Hours events, they’re your opportunity to experience the magic of a Disney theme park for three hours after regular park hours, with limited attendance, which means little-to-no wait for attractions, experiences and character greetings. The event ticket also allows you early entry into the park, beginning at 7 p.m.
Ice cream, popcorn and select beverages are also included in the Disney After Hours admission, which is a separately priced ticket from daytime park admission. Other food offerings will be available at each of the Parks.
All Disney After Hours event tickets cost $125 + tax for advance purchase and $129 + tax for day-of purchases. Please contact a Pixie at Pixie Vacations to have these tickets added to your Walt Disney World Vacation package.
