Hello, Ben! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and thank you for sending over your question regarding Disney After Hours events!
It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of any special events at Walt Disney World Resort and the
Disney After Hours events are no exception! These events allow a limited number of Guests to enter into either Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom after traditional operating hours in order to experience an exclusive, three-hour nighttime extravaganza! Each theme park provides Character Greetings and access to popular attractions with little-to-no wait times. In addition, all Guests may enjoy popcorn, ice cream, and select beverages as a part of their cost of admission.
While I have not personally attended
Disney After Hours at Disney’s Animal Kingdom specifically, I did have the pleasure of attending
Disney After Hours at Magic Kingdom last year. From my personal experience of this event, I cannot recommend it enough! It was so incredibly neat to see Magic Kingdom at such low capacity and experience a variety of attractions with almost no wait times. I am not completely sure of the exact number of tickets sold for each event but there were times in which I would only see a few other people in whichever portion of the park I was walking through. I also enjoyed quite a few Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream Sandwiches throughout the night which was definitively a plus for me!
Hopefully this provides a bit more information on Disney After Hours events for you to consider!
