If you like the very popular Disney After Hours event in Disney’s Magic Kingdom then we have great news for you, Disney After Hours events are also coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom parks starting in December!
The Disney After Hours events allow you to enjoy one of these participating Disney parks with minimal people for 3 hours after the majority of the guests go home for the day. That means it’s a great opportunity to enjoy the park’s attractions, character greetings, shows and more without waiting in long lines. Plus you get to enjoy already snacks like: Ice Cream, Popcorn, and Soft Drinks included in your admission price. I’ve found it’s a great opportunity to take some really amazing photos of the park at night without people walking in your shot!
Here is the run-down for the Disney After Hours events in each park:

My name is Ziggy and I love Disney, everything Disney! I grew up on Disney and it has and continues to be a huge part of my life. I started young when my parents took me to Disney World when I was 18 months old. Little did they know that would be the first of an uncountable number of trips we would take. I have so many amazing memories going to Disney with my family and friends and it has been interwoven into my DNA.
