Hiya, Diana! Thanks for bringing this great question to us at planDisney.
There's nothing quite like visiting the parks at night! With wishing stars over your head and glowing lights sparkling from every window, an evening in
Magic Kingdom Park is truly magical. I completely understand the desire to spend as much time in front of
Cinderella Castle as possible and I'd love to help you with your question!
Diana, the
Disney After Hours at Magic Kingdom Park were a great perk this year! This event included access to select attractions, as well as some snacks and treats, to a limited-capacity crowd. At the time of this writing, this event has ended for this season. While we aren't sure when we can expect this event to return, I encourage you to check back on the
Disney After Hours page for more information! I'd also recommend keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog which always seems to announce these exciting updates first.
However, there are still many ways to enjoy some extra time in the parks during your visit! Did you know that Guests at Deluxe Resort Hotels and other participating hotels have access to
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours? This offers Guests an opportunity to enjoy extra hours at EPCOT and Magic Kingdom Park on select nights! I recently enjoyed this benefit on my last trip to Walt Disney World Resort and it was truly the best night of our stay. I'm happy to let you know that it appears as though this
resort benefit will be offered through 2024!
I hope I was able to point you in the right direction today, Diana! If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to come back and write to us again.
You've got a friend in me!
Michelle
