Welcome to planDisney, Jaime! I'm so glad to be able to answer your question today. There's just something extra magical about late nights at
Magic Kingdom, isn't there? Seeing
Cinderella Castle all lit up and squeezing in a few more rides under the stars is the stuff Disney dreams are made of!
There are two main options for late-night fun at Magic Kingdom:
Disney After Hours and
Extended Evening Hours for guests staying at
Deluxe Resorts or
Deluxe Villas.
Let's start with Disney After Hours. This is a separately ticketed event that lets you enjoy the park after closing time with a limited capacity, shorter wait times, and complimentary snacks. The schedule for After Hours events has already been released through September, and as of now, there are no Magic Kingdom dates after May 19. From June through September, all After Hours events are happening at
Hollywood Studios and
EPCOT. I wouldn't expect any additional Magic Kingdom dates to be added at this point, but you never know what kind of pixie dust Disney might sprinkle later, so it's always a good idea to keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog or the official calendar for updates.
Now, if you're staying at a Deluxe Resort, you're in luck! Extended Evening Hours at Magic Kingdom are scheduled every Wednesday throughout the summer. These nights give you extra time in the park after it closes to day guests, and while schedules are always subject to change, it's a great perk that can really maximize your park time.
I hope this answers your question, Jaime, and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you plan your magical vacation!
