Hi Brook! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question!
I'm excited that
Disney After Hours events have made a return to the Walt Disney World Resort this year! I always loved being able to explore the parks at night with minimal crowds around. One of the best parts is riding attractions with hardly any wait times. It allows you to fit so much into a shorter time frame!
During Disney After Hours events,
Disney Genie+ is not available to use. All Guests will be directed to the standby queue to ride each attraction. If you have a regular park ticket that day and are there before the event starts, you will be able to use Disney Genie+ during that time. Once the After Hours event begins, it will no longer be an option on your My Disney Experience App. With fewer Guests in the park at this time, one of the luxuries of these events is how quickly you will go through the queues on each ride.
The
Magic Kingdom and
Disney's Hollywood Studios are the two parks that are currently hosting these events. Each park will host them on select nights and tickets are selling fast. There are already several evenings that have already sold out. The After Hours events last for 3 hours, but you are allowed to enter the park as early as 7 PM on the event night. This will give you extra time before it starts to begin exploring the parks.
Brook, I hope this information helps you plan for an upcoming visit!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
Happy planning!
