Hi there, Steve!
Welcome
planDisney! I hope you're having a fantastic time on your
Walt Disney World vacation. Thanks for stopping by with your question. Let's talk about the exciting evening you're about to have!
Currently, with
Disney Genie+ Service, all Lightning Lane return times occur during regular park hours; you cannot select an entry during a
Disney After Hours event. Hakuna Matata! No worries! One of the best parts of Disney After Hours is the shorter standby wait times. As the evening progresses and crowds thin, you'll encounter minimal waits for even the most popular attractions.
Quick tip: wait until the second half of the night to queue up for
TRON Lightcycle/Run and
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Their lines will be much shorter an hour or two into the event. Spend the early part of the evening enjoying attractions in Frontierland and Adventureland before making your way to Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. If you arrive before
Magic Kingdom Park closes, you can catch
Happily Ever After and Disney Enchantment fireworks on the same night!
I hope this is helpful, Steve, and you have an incredible time at Disney After Hours tonight. Thanks again for sending your question our way, and if there's anything planDisney can do to make future trips even more magical, don't hesitate to reach out again.
Wishing you the best day ever,
Betsy
