Are you a night owl? Then an after-hours event may be the perfect fit for you and your family.
After Hours events are returning to Walt Disney World Resort with plenty of after-dark delights starting Jan. 10 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Jan. 11 at Magic Kingdom Park, and Feb. 2 at EPCOT.
These popular separately ticketed events are a great time to do a ton in a short amount of time. The capacity is limited, meaning you’ll have less time in lines and more time enjoying all the rides. You’ll also see some of your favorite characters and have all of the snacks you want to keep your energy going into the wee hours of the night.
