Hi Hannah!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your after-hours party question. First of all, let me tell you—you’re in for such a magical and unforgettable evening! After-hours parties are truly pixie-dusted experiences filled with low wait times, unique entertainment, and exclusive treats that will have you smiling from ear to ear.
Now, about
Lightning Lane access. After speaking with a cast member, while it may not be the answer you were hoping for, Guests entering the park at 4 PM with just a party ticket (and not a standard theme park ticket) won’t be able to book Lightning Lane passes. Additionally, Lightning Lane entry isn’t available during
Disney After Hours or E
xtended Evening Theme Park Hours.
But here’s where you get to reach for the sky! —after the party begins, you’ll discover that many attractions have shorter wait times! Without the need for Lightning Lanes, you’ll be able to hop on some of your favorite rides easily and still have plenty of time to enjoy everything else the event offers. Whether it’s dancing with your favorite characters, savoring festive snacks, or taking in exclusive entertainment, you’ll have a truly enchanting evening.
If you need any more tips, or have any additional questions, feel free to stop by again.
Have a magical time!
Christina
