food IS a theme park
Hey, y’all. We’re sorry we have to bring you this sad Magic Kingdom news.
Cinderella Castle
It’s official — one of our favorite ways to get on Magic Kingdom‘s most popular rides without waiting in line is now SOLD OUT.
Disney World brought its After Hours events back to the parks for 2024.
Tower of Terror
These events are taking place in three of the four parks — Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT. At the After Hours events you can have extra time to ride all the rides without the extra crowds and wait times. They also offer complimentary treats like Mickey ice cream bars, popcorn, and soda. Up until recently, the events this year haven’t been overly popular (which helps keep the wait times down), but now we noticed that a couple of nights have sold out a one of the parks!
We’re coming at you LIVE from an exclusive Disney World event!
EPCOT at night
EPCOT After Hours is back and we’re bringing you along as we experience all this separately ticketed event has to offer. If you’re a fan of all things attractions, free snacks, and rare character sightings, well — After Hours might be for you. But, one of the best parts about these events is the low crowd levels, so let’s see how busy EPCOT is tonight!
EPCOT After Hours is back, baby! We’re live from the first event of 2024.
Hello from EPCOT!
These events are perfect for fans of LOW wait times at classic attractions, meeting characters, and FREE SNACKS! Of course, these things are well and good, but if you ask us — it’s the low wait times that really make these events worth it. So, what sort of wait times are we working with tonight?
Have you ever been to an After Hours event in Disney World?
Magic Kingdom After Hours
If you’re a big “run and ride” kind of Disney fan, these types of events are MADE for you. You purchase a ticket and come into the parks in the evening, then you get a few hours after it closes to enjoy several attractions with incredibly low wait times. If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, then we have an important update!
Disney’s After Hours events are practically a hidden gem in plain sight. It’s going to be really hard to convince us otherwise. These events boast drastically reduced crowds, rare character appearances, most if not all rides and attractions open for enjoyment, and there are even complimentary snacks!

However, food is the one place with these events where we can get a little squirrely. There are pros and cons to any event that Disney holds and this one point is certainly no exception. We’ve already attended After Hours events this year in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom and places to eat (and what was served) seem to be our dividing point. [Read more…]
You’ve been counting down to this day ever since you bought your ticket and now, it’s finally here! In all of your excitement getting ready for Disney World’s After Hours events there’s one thing that we want to caution you on.
Mickey
We’ve figured out that Disney After Hours events are a hidden gem that not many people actually take advantage of on their vacations. If the heat, sweat, exhaustion, and general crowds just really aren’t your idea of the perfect way to spend your day in the Disney World parks, these events were MADE for you. But watch out — there could be just one last sneaky thing that will try to ruin your experience. [Read more…]
Disney World After Hours events are returning in 2024!
Cinderella Castle
These events grant you three extra hours you get in the parks — if you buy the special tickets. You’ll get lower wait times on the rides, complimentary food and beverages, and an extra fireworks show — and tickets go on sale TOMORROW!
We know that a trip to Disney World is not cheap.
It’s not a cheap trip, but it’s worth it for views like this!
One of our goals at Disney Food Blog is to help you find ways to cut these costs and keep your trip within your budget. We want you to have a great experience while not breaking the bank.
But we also believe that there are just some things in Disney World that are absolutely worth the money and fun. For example, staying at a Disney World hotel is definitely worth the money for all the perks you get like transportation to the parks, extra hours in the parks, and the complete immersion into the Disney experience.
Crush at Disney’s Art of Animation
Outside of staying at a Disney hotel, there’s one thing we think you should definitely splurge on while at the Happiest Place on Earth.
As hard as it is to believe, the end of 2023 is near.
New Year’s Eve Fireworks
There are only 60 days till Christmas (fun tip: if you search ‘days til Christmas’ on Google, you can open a present that takes you to the ‘Santa Tracker’!). With the holidays right around the corner, the new year is soon to follow. Disney has already announced several changes coming to their tickets in 2024 and we’re here to break those down for you.
