Walt Disney World offers special After Hours events which allows guests paid special nighttime access to the theme parks. After Hours events are a great opportunity to ride popular rides, especially the newest attractions like TRON, with minimal wait times.
Disney World After Hours is one of the most popular Disney events and these dates often take place spring through summer each year. Discounts are available for some Walt Disney World guests and guests staying on-site at Walt Disney World resorts get first dibs on tickets.
We visit Walt Disney World frequently and we love to take advantage of special events like Disney World After Hours. I feel these events are often worth it, especially for the amount of rides you can experience in such a short time. These events are perfect for families with teens, adults, and night owls. Keep reading for our full breakdown of the Disney World After Hours calendar events for 2025. This article has been checked and verified for accuracy for 2025.

Walt Disney World After Hours
Currently, Walt Disney World After Hours are available at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios. They have been available at Animal Kingdom in the past but often this park does not offer late-night events since it is also home to thousands of species of animals. Typhoon Lagoon will also typically offer After Hours events in the summer.
Disney World After Hours events often include free snacks along with low wait times for popular rides. You also often get access to the park before it officially closes for the event allowing you the opportunity to enjoy any regular nighttime entertainment.
