Walt Disney World Expands Disney After Hours to Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom

Disney After Hours is a special ticketed event where guests have the opportunity to enjoy 3 hours in the park after regular park hours to enjoy shorter lines for popular attractions, character greetings and special experiences.  Guests are even able to enter the park a couple hours in advance to get a little more park time before the event begins, too!  Ice cream, popcorn and select beverages are also included in admission so that guests have snacks to enjoy while at the park.  Previously the event was only offered at Magic Kingdom Park and now it will be offered at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

About Christy Caby

I am a diehard Disney fanatic! I fell in love with all things Disney from an early age and that only increased once I first visited Walt Disney World! It led me to complete a yearlong Disney College Program working at merchandise locations within Disney’s Hollywood Studios (Disney-MGM Studios at that time) and I worked for Disney Parks & Resorts Technology in Project/Program Management. Now I get to write about Disney and help others plan their magical vacations! Disney holds a special place in the hearts of my entire family as my husband proposed there, we honeymooned there, took trips while pregnant with each of my boys and have visited with them many, many times from 8 weeks old through now. One of my favorite memories from each trip is always the look on my kids’ faces the first time they see the castle. I’d love to help you plan your magical vacation!
