Disney After Hours to Be Extended Through the Summer for Most Parks
Disney World has announced that they are extending their Disney After Hours through the end of the summer for EPCOT, Magic Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
- Magic Kingdom – through June 27
- EPCOT – July 18
- Hollywood Studios – August 29
During special event nights, guests at Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT are in for an extra three hours of enchantment. Attendees of these separately ticketed events can relish extended moments for attractions and character greetings and indulge in unlimited complimentary snacks, including select beverages.
The Disney After Hours Summer usually hits all the Disney Parks, like the ones mentioned above, including Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Each Disney Park offers select spring, summer, or even fall hours. Magic Kingdom Park is usually the more popular Disney Park that sells out fast. The extended evening hours allow regular guests to buy a ticket for select nights at any of the Disney Parks. Regular guests can ride their favorite attraction with little to no wait time (sometimes), but many folks do buy tickets, so get them while you can!
For the summer of 2024, Disney After Hours presents a pricing range from $145 to $175. DVC members and Walt Disney World Annual Passholders can enjoy a $30 discount. To secure early tickets for events spanning April 22 to June 27, 2024, guests staying at select Walt Disney World Resort hotels, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels, and Shades of Green can call (407) 934-7639 starting January 24, 2024.
