Hi Amy and welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Your Walt Disney World vacation is SO CLOSE! I am so excited you have chosen to attend
Disney After Hours at Magic Kingdom Park. I was able to attend After Hours last year and I fell in love with the experience. I was able to visit all of my favorite attractions with little wait. Be sure to spend at least a tiny bit of time enjoying how beautiful the park is in the evening. I saw so many more details without the crowds. I'm hoping to attend After Hours again this year!
If you need a physical ticket, you can visit the Ticket Window at any of the theme or water parks, the Box Office at ESPN Wide World of Sports, or Guest Relations at Disney Springs. If you have a Magic Band and have linked your
Disney After Hours ticket in My Disney Experience, you should be able to head straight to the park entrance. If you have any trouble you can visit Guest Relations. You can enter the park as early as 7 p.m. with your event ticket.
If you are already in the park and have a ticket to stay for After Hours, you can go to the front of the park at 7 p.m. or later to pick up your lanyard. Everyone in your party will need to be present to have their tickets or Magic Bands scanned to receive lanyards. The lanyard will tell Cast Members you have purchased a ticket and are able to stay in the park and enjoy After Hours. I would go as close to 7 p.m. as possible to avoid getting caught in the crowds leaving Magic Kingdom Park.
Please let us know if you have any other questions!
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Amy H.
