Welcome to planDisney, Laura! Late nights in the Walt Disney World Resort Theme Parks are my favorite - there's something extra magical about strolling around under the moonlight and experiencing the thrills of attractions after dark! Not to mention, during a summertime visit, the weather is much milder after the sun sets!
Laura, I had the opportunity to enjoy
Disney After Hours at Magic Kingdom Park in February of this year, and I'm planning to enjoy
Disney's Hollywood Studios After Hours in July as well. I'm most excited to ride
Slinky Dog Dash at night over and over again, and my kids are determined to drop in on the
Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at least 13 times! Like you, I was hoping Magic Kingdom Park would offer the event into the later summer months, but as of now, it is only being offered through May 19, 2025. Event offerings are always subject to change, so we might get lucky if Disney chooses to release some additional dates. My best advice is to keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for future announcements about this event so you'll be among the first to know if the dates are extended.
If you're looking for another late-night option,
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park traditionally hosts
H2O Glow After Hours during the summer months for an opportunity to make a splash after dark! This event usually includes a DJ and dance parties, complimentary popcorn and ice cream treats, and the chance to slip and slide on some of the popular aquatic attractions. Keep an eye out for 2025 days and information, hopefully coming soon!
Laura, also keep in mind that if you choose to stay as a guest at a
Disney Deluxe Resort or
Disney Deluxe Villa Resort, you will be eligible to attend
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours on select nights; this is another way to get some late-night park time in during your visit, usually with shorter lines and lighter crowds. Also keep an eye on the
Park Hours and Events Calendar as the parks often do change their hours to be open a little later in the summer months; every extra minute is a minute more to enjoy the magic!
I hope this helps, Laura, and I hope you have the best summer vacation at the Most Magical Place on Earth! If you have any other questions, come on back to
planDisney and let us know! From early mornings to late nights, we're always here to talk about the magic of planning with you!
See you real soon,
Alison
