Last year Disney was offering an After Hours event where guests who paid an extra price could enter the Magic Kingdom and have it almost to themselves. This “extra” offering caused some controversy with many Disney fans feeling like the company was only interested in squeezing out every last dollar from their pockets. Well it’s returning, the Disney After Hours Event is coming back to the Magic Kingdom starting in January 2017, but this time for a reduced price.
Just like last time, buying a ticket to this event will give you access to the Magic Kingdom and most of its attractions while the park is closed off to the general public. The tickets will get you into the park at 7:00pm and give you 3 hours to go crazy with a very limited number of other guests in the parks. Besides the attractions your ticket also includes character meet and greets, and complimentary bottled water, soda and Ice Cream Bars.
The idea is a great one imo, and makes you feel like a V.I.P, but last time many people complained about the price of the event which was $149. Disney must have been listening and lowered the price by $30 and is now $119 plus tax for all ages.
There are 7 confirmed dates so far for next year and as of now they are: January 20, 27, February 2, 9 and 16, and March 2 and 9 2017. You can call 407-827-7185 to book tickets.

Your Thoughts:
I want to know what you think about the Disney After Hours Event Returning. Is a special After Hours Event something you would be interested in? Do you think the new lowered price is more reasonable? Let us know in the comments section below! 🙂
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.

Think it's great as long as a person has the extra funds. I'm sure it's a great feeling to be in the park with only a few people. You can get a lot done in a short time. Plus you get water and treats included plus a meet and greet with the characters is always special?
