    What time do I have to leave the park if I don’t buy an after hours party ticket? Assuming the park hours are 9am-9pm.

    Welcome back to planDisney, Adriana! That’s a great planning question! I’m glad you sent it! Knowing park hours is the best way to maximize your day at one of the four theme parks at the Walt Disney World Resort!

    Guests without a Disney After Hours admission ticket will need to begin leaving the park hosting the after-hours party at the time the park is scheduled to close. For example, there is a Disney After Hours event scheduled for Magic Kingdom on February 2, 2026. The event begins at 10:00 PM. Magic Kingdom is scheduled to close for all other Guests at 10:00 PM. So, you would need to begin making your way from the park at 10:00 PM.

    Adriana, I hope that answer is helpful with your planning! The best way to find hours for each of the theme parks is to visit the webpage for each park. When you arrive at the webpage, you’ll see a calendar icon stating, “Park Hours.” Click on the icon and then select the date of your park visit. The park hours will be displayed along with any special events scheduled for the park. I frequently use the calendar tool when planning my visits!

    Dreams do come true!
