Hiya Christine! Welcome back to planDisney!
I'm excited to hear about your upcoming plans to visit the
Walt Disney World Resort this summer. Before you know it, you'll be arriving for a magical stay filled with unforgettable experiences and lasting memories. Let's dive into your question and help you plan for your vacation.
Attending
Disney After Hours is the perfect way to experience the parks in a completely new way. You'll get the chance to explore the various lands under the night sky and shimmering lights. Unfortunately, I do not have any additional information to share at this time regarding Disney After Hours at the Magic Kingdom during your arrival. As you mentioned, dates have only been released at this park through May 19th. I would check back periodically leading up to your stay to see if any new information has been released.
If you're staying in a Deluxe Disney Resorts hotel or other participating hotels, you will be eligible for
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours. These occur at select parks on select dates, but are only available to Guests staying at these resorts. There is no additional fee to attend, and Cast Members will verify your accommodations when you arrive.
Christine, one of the perks of Disney After Hours events is that wait times at many attractions are typically on the lower end. If this is one of your goals, I highly suggest utilizing
Lightning Lane Multi Pass or Single Pass during your stay. By using this service, you can schedule return times for select attractions and bypass the standby queue for Lightning Lane reservations that you make. This will help you maximize your time in the park and not have to wait too long to ride attractions.
I hope you have a magical stay!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
See ya real soon!
