Welcome to planDisney, Larry!
It looks like your visit is just a few days away, so let's get into all the
Disney After Hours details without delay.
After Hours are separately ticketed events held on select dates, which offer hours of fun, limited capacity (which means lower wait times), and unlimited offerings of select snacks and bottled beverages at participating locations around the parks. My family enjoyed an After Hours event at EPCOT a few summers ago, and my kids definitely got their fill of Mickey-shaped ice cream bars and popcorn by the end of the night (it's a wonder they even went to sleep after all the excitement).
Disney After Hours at Magic Kingdom Park lists the following popular attractions on this year's lineup:
- TRON Lightcycle / Run
- Space Mountain
- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
- Haunted Mansion
- "it's a small world"
- Jungle Cruise
- Peter Pan's Flight
- Under the Sea - Journey of The Little Mermaid
- Mad Tea Party
Based on my research, the following experiences were also available in 2025: The Magic Carpets of Aladdin, Pirates of the Caribbean, Swiss Family Treehouse, Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room, Country Bear Musical Jamboree, The Barnstormer, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Mickey's PhilharMagic, Prince Charming Regal Carrousel, Tomorrowland Speedway, and Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover. Though attractions and entertainment are always subject to change, I'm crossing my fingers that you'll be able to experience all your favorites during your visit.
As an added bonus, After Hours at Magic Kingdom ticket holders can also look forward to a viewing of Disney Enchantment fireworks on event days. If you're planning to visit on January 19 you'll get double the nighttime entertainment with a showing of Happily Ever After (my personal favorite) and Disney Enchantment on the same night!
After Hours at EPCOT boasts many of the top attractions toward the front of the park, including: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Soarin’, Living with the Land, Mission: SPACE
The Seas with Nemo & Friends, Spaceship Earth, and Test Track. When we visited, we were also able to experience attractions between the Mexico and Norway Pavilions (Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros and Frozen Ever After), while we also had access to Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in the France Pavilion. World Showcase was closed between China and Morocco during our experience, but since we're still waiting for the first event of 2026, I can't say for sure if that will still be the case.
As you enter the parks, Cast Members should have more information on characters, entertainment, and attractions available during your specific event. Don't forget you can get a jump start on the fun by entering before the official event start time, as early as 7 pm!
Larry, I hope this gets you ready for plenty of magic during your. If we can answer any additional questions in the meantime, please come right back to planDisney and let us know.
Magic and memories,
Amy
