After Hours events are officially back for 2024 and Disney is kicking them off over at Hollywood Studios!

After Hours events in Hollywood Studios take place on certain nights from January 10th to April 10th, 2024.

The event is three hours long and takes place from 9:30PM to 12:30AM. However, with an After Hours ticket, you can get in starting at 7PM to take advantage of a couple extra hours with the regular park guests!

The following attractions are set to be open during the event, however, that can change at any time.

Attractions

Hollywood Studios is known for its long wait times, but you can wait in shorter lines during the event at these attractions:

• Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway
• Slinky Dog Dash
• Alien Swirling Saucers
• Toy Story Mania!
• Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run
• Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
• Tower of Terror
• Star Tours

Entertainment

When it comes to entertainment, you can catch Fantasmic! during normal park hours if you enter early for the event. Be sure to check your My Disney Experience app for the most up-to-date show information.

Disney Movie Magic also happened at 7:10PM. If you get in right at 7PM with your After Hours ticket you can catch it! Times can change though so keep checking the app.

Finally, Wonderful World of Animation typically happens at 7:30PM, but this could change depending on the day.

Complimentary Snacks

Complimentary snacks like ice cream, popcorn, and select bottled beverages are included with your ticket as well. That’s right — at snack stands around the park, you can just walk by, pick up a snack, and go on about your business!
