    Disney After Hours at Hollywood Studios is scheduled for a day we were planning to visit the park. Will my family be able to stay in the park to watch Fantasmic that night, or will the show only be available for those with after hours passes?

    Hi Kelly! I'm so happy to welcome you back to planDisney! Your visit to Walt Disney World Resort is just a few weeks away, so we’re happy you stopped by with a question as you put the finishing touches on your plans.

    Fantasmic! is an exciting nighttime spectacular at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, with so many of our favorite Disney pals, lots of magical surprises, and Mickey as the star of the show. I can understand that you want to make sure you don’t miss it!

    On nights when Disney After Hours at Disney's Hollywood Studios is scheduled, Fantasmic! is still open to regular park guests. This show, along with Wonderful World of Animation, are the last two events of the night before the after hours event begins.

    I’m looking at the schedule for the week you’ll be visiting, and it looks like Disney After Hours will take place on Wednesday that week. On that night, Fantasmic! is scheduled for 8:30 p.m., and regular park hours end at 9 p.m. Since the show runs for approximately 30 minutes, this will take you all the way up to park closing and will be your magical ending to the day at Hollywood Studios.

    Kelly, I hope you have a wonderful visit to Walt Disney World Resort next month! As you continue to think about any last minute details, be sure to come back and see us with any questions you may have. We’re always here to help and love adding extra pixie dust to your Disney vacation planning!

    See you on Hollywood Boulevard,
