Walt Disney World Holiday decoration on Main Street

    Lisa from ON Asked Please note that experiences, policies, pricing and other offerings are subject to change and may have changed since the date of this answer.

    Is there advance notice of when there are After Hours in the parks during December 2024 and if so, where would I find this info? Trying to plan out my days and this would be a great help! Thank you!

    Hi there Lisa,

    Thanks for coming back with another great question for us. Your holiday season visit will be here before you know it, and I'm so excited for your family to experience the most wonderful time of year in the Most Magical Place on Earth! Let's untangle the itinerary tinsel together, shall we?

    Disney After Hours events were scheduled at Magic Kingdom Park, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT on select dates throughout the year. At this time, only Disney's Hollywood Studios has remaining dates scheduled into August. While it's possible more dates might be announced, these offerings all ended by August last year.

    I wouldn't expect to see anything added to the schedule for Magic Kingdom Park since Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party kicks off in just a few weeks, immediately followed by Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party on select nights in November and December. Additionally, Disney Jollywood Nights will be hosted at Disney's Hollywood Studios on select nights in November and December.

    Like Disney After Hours, these are separately ticketed events (now available for purchase) and oh so fun! You can review the dates to coordinate around your visit so you won't miss a minute of magic. Remember that the parks close to daytime guests a few hours earlier than usual, on nights when these parties are scheduled. I'm hopeful new After Hours dates will be announced for January 2025, but we'll have to wait and see.

    Now, if you are instead referring to Extended Evening Theme Park Hours for guests of Deluxe Resorts you'll need to check the Hours & Events Calendar closer to your visit. I see some extended hours available at Magic Kingdom Park and EPCOT through September, but the calendar for the end of the year is not available just yet. More details will likely be available in November, but remember hours are always subject to change. 

    I'm sorry I don't have a more definitive answer for you today Lisa, but I'm crossing my fingers you'll get plenty of magical merry time in the parks when you visit. Should you need more planning assistance please don't hesitate to come back and see us again.

    Magic and memories,
    Amy
