Disney After Hours events
offer guests the opportunity to enjoy certain Disney World parks after closing. Limited guest capacity for these events allows guests to enjoy popular park attractions with little-to-no wait. Another benefit of these extra-ticket events is complimentary ice cream, popcorn and select beverages included in your admission.

What about Hollywood Studios? I would love that for Galaxy’s Edge!
We are headed to Disney World next week for a water park vacation- we pan to get water park annual passes @ $139 The After hours option might be a good idea for our trip because we could stay cool during the day at the water parks, then enjoy low crowds in the evening. The water parks are opened 10-5 next week and after hours is much later in the day so no conflict in hours of operation. . We are planning to head to Mickey’s Not So Scary party, which is a much better financial deal than after hours, but if we return to use the annual pass during a month without a holiday party, after hours opens more options for us!
Oh no, nothing for when we are there over Christmas and New Years.
We did an after hours event at Magic Kingdom last year it was very much worth it, and highly recommend it. We were able to ride all the rides in magic Kingdom in the 3 hours which freed up a day to resort hop.
Fingers crossed they announce something for HS while we are there.
Oh I really hope they announce something for Hollywood Studios in November!
Aww, nothing for holiday weeks, when we REALLY need an After Hours event since the crowds are so large and I’d be willing to fork over the extra money. On the other hand, this means I have more money for other things non-Disney 🙂
Any insider info about potential HS after hours events in 2020
Krista, no info has been released yet, but we’re checking!
