food IS a theme park
If you’ve never had the chance to go to an After Hours event at Disney World, you could be missing out on the magic of ride after ride with no lines.
After Hours
There are different After Hours at three of the four parks right now, where, after the park closes, you can spend hours snagging free snacks, hopping on rides with almost no lines, and enjoying the serenity of an empty theme park. If you’re staying at a Disney World Hotel soon, you get to grab your After Hours tickets early.
We love that so many of the Disney parks are bringing back their After Hours events. They’re tons of fun!
Figment after hours!
These are such a fun way to experience the parks at a lower capacity and feel special running (not literally) around the parks at night. But that means these events are super popular, and if you’re looking to experience EPCOT’s After Hours event, time is running out to book your spot!
It’s time, everyone, it’s time!
EPCOT is enchanting after dark!
Many of the Disney World parks have started offering After Hours events, which are separately ticketed events that offer guests access to the park after most guests are gone. This means low wait times, free snacks, and the ability to feel like you have the park nearly to yourself. Now it’s time for EPCOT to join the After Hours party!
One of the biggest reasons to attend an After Hours event is the LOW wait times and crowd levels. Walk-on rides and a practically empty park?! Sign us up. Come with us to see how the crowds were during the first-ever EPCOT After Hours event.
Okay, DFB Readers, who’s ready for Halloween?
Main Street U.S.A.
We certainly are, and we’ve been mentally preparing ourselves for the price increase we expected for this year’s Mickey’s Not-So Scary Halloween Party. Maybe we were expecting it because we saw a HUGE Genie+ price increase earlier this month and another one over at Cinderella’s Royal Table. But we just GOT the prices — and DATES — for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party…and well, color us surprised!
Welcome to the return of After Hours events in Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom
We were so excited to learn that After Hours events would return to Disney World in 2023 and the time has come! These are separately ticketed events that allow a certain amount of guests to explore the park after it closes. We already went to the Hollywood Studios event where we saw what was included in the ticket and the crowds (or lack of crowds) in the park — let’s see what you can expect at the Magic Kingdom events!
Do you HATE Disney World crowds? Do you wish you could hop from ride to ride with minimal waits? Don’t we all?!

If you’re a night owl and you want the chance to experience Disney World when it’s least crowded, then you need to check out the Disney After Hours events in Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios… and the recently added EPCOT After Hours and MORE! These hard-ticketed events take place on select nights, and tickets are already on sale for early 2023 dates…and some dates are selling out!
Disneyland has some fun events that happen outside of regular park hours.

For Halloween we see Oogie Boogie Bash, there are special Grad Nites, and event some other after hours events. We recently found out about a NEW after hours event coming to Disneyland Park in 2023, and now, select people can buy tickets for this event!
