Disney After Hours Is the Perfect Chance to Enjoy the Parks (Mostly) Without Kids

For $125 in advance or $129 day of (annual passholders and Disney Holiday Club members pay $95), guests can enjoy attractions and entertainment with minimal wait times and a much smaller crowds! Guests are permitted to enter the park starting at 7 p.m., even though the event doesn't officially start until 9 p.m. and goes until midnight (10 p.m. until 1 a.m. at some parks). Main attractions are open during the late hours at each park, including Splash Mountain, Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, and Avatar Flight of Passage.

Throughout the event, guests can find beverages and ice cream treats like Mickey Premium Bars, frozen fruit popsicles, Mickey ice cream sandwiches, and popcorn available for free. All you need to do is go up to the open carts and request a snack.

As part of Disney After Hours this Summer, Magic Kingdom is introducing the Villains After Hours stage show. The park will also have villain-themed food available for purchase throughout the night.

Because Disney only sells a limited amount of tickets for After Hours, you're guaranteed to have much more room to roam. You'll have up to five hours in the parks with limited wait times for popular attractions, there are less crowds to work through, and the parks feel so empty for a truly relaxing evening.
