Return of After Hours in 2023  Disney After Hours events will return to Walt Disney World Resort starting January 2023! These fan-favorite experiences are scheduled to kick off January 4 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and January 9 at Magic Kingdom Park. Disney After Hours are late-night, separately ticketed events that let you enjoy a Walt Disney World theme park for three additional hours after regular park hours, with treats such as ice cream, popcorn and select beverages included. The number of tickets for these events is limited, which means lower wait times and crowd levels. Event tickets for Magic Kingdom Park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios can be purchased by all guests starting October 7, 2022, with prices ranging from $129 to $159 (plus tax). Guests of select Walt Disney World Resort hotels can begin purchasing Disney After Hours tickets as early as October 4. Eligible Disney Vacation Club members and Walt Disney World Annual Passholders can also purchase specially priced tickets for select dates. Disney After Hours at Disney Hollywood Studios is scheduled from 9:30 PM to 12:30 AM, while the Magic Kingdom event is scheduled from 10:00 PM to 1:00 AM. However, ticketholders can enter the park at 7:00 PM, a few hours before the event officially begins.
