Hiya, Cecelia!
I’m so happy to welcome you back to planDisney! It’s always such a pleasure to see returning guests, and it truly means a lot that you continue to turn to us as you plan your Disney vacations. We love being a small part of your planning journey and helping you create even more magical memories each time you visit. It’s always exciting to hear what you have in store for your next adventure!
How fun that you’ll be visiting Walt Disney World
this summer! With so much new to see and explore, you’re in for an incredible trip. It’s especially exciting that you have
After Hours tickets, and this
special ticketed event is one of my favorites.
Did you know you can actually enter the parks a few hours before the event officially begins? It’s a great way to maximize your ticket and enjoy even more time in the parks. Once the event starts, you’ll be treated to lower wait times on popular attractions, complimentary snacks like popcorn and ice cream, plus select bottled beverages, along with opportunities to meet some beloved characters.
And I have to say, I absolutely love the nighttime atmosphere during After Hours events. The parks feel so different after dark, almost like you’re experiencing everything in a whole new way, and it really adds something extra special to the evening.
In general, the Friendship Boats are not operating once the After Hours event concludes. However, you will have access to
Disney Bus Transportation to take you back to your resort. If you are staying at a resort in the EPCOT area, you are also welcome to use the walking paths as a convenient option.
Based on the information you shared, it sounds like your tickets may be for
Hollywood Studios, which is such a fantastic choice. During the summer daytime hours, the park can definitely get busy and quite warm, so it’s a very different experience in the evening. During After Hours, you’ll get to enjoy Hollywood Studios in a whole new light, with a more relaxed atmosphere and a chance to take everything in at a much more comfortable pace.
Cecelia, I hope you have the very best time during the After Hours event. Thank you so much for visiting us again at planDisney!
Magic Awaits,
Kami
