Hi Lauren! It's great to have you stop by planDisney!
Oh boy! I'm excited you are considering attending
Disney After Hours at Disney's Hollywood Studios! This event is one of the coolest experiences at Walt Disney World and gives you the chance to explore the parks at nighttime.
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge transforms during this time and is one of the more magical places to visit all lit up.
Disney Transportation will continue running during Disney After Hours events to bring Guests back to their Disney Resorts Hotels. However, buses do not run from the theme parks to Disney Springs at any point throughout the day. In order to get to
Disney Springs using complimentary Disney Transportation, you would need to take a bus from a Disney Resorts Hotel. Your best option to get back to your hotel is to use a ride-share service when leaving the park. There are a few popular choices and each of them has an app you can download to your mobile device to use them. I have utilized these types of rides plenty of times when visiting Walt Disney World and have always had great experiences.
When purchasing tickets for this event, you are allowed to enter the park starting at 7 PM. This gives you a few hours before the event officially starts to enjoy everything that the park has to offer. My family likes to use this time to grab a bite to eat or see a couple of the shows that are offered. This way when the After Hours event begins, we can take full advantage of all of the attractions with minimal wait times!
Lauren, I hope you have a magical time during your upcoming visit!
Stop back to see us again at planDisney!
See ya real soon!
