This year in honor of my birthday, my hubby and I attended the Disney After Hours Event at Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World. Both my hubby and I had a phenomenal experience, click here to read my spotlight on that event. My hubby and I were just talking about when Disney will announce the 2025 dates. Well last week, Disney (through their official blog) released the dates for 2025 Disney After Hours at Walt Disney World. Disney must have read our minds!

 I am excited to share those dates with you along with some other information. So let’s get to it.

What is Disney After Hours at Walt Disney World?

Disney After Hours is a special limited 3-hour ticketed evening event that is available at one of the 3 parks- Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Epcot after the park closes. You can enter the park as early as 7 PM. You can experience low wait times on select rides/attractions during this event. When my hubby and I attended the one at Hollywood Studios the rides for us were walk-ons. Select snacks and select bottled drinks are included in the price of the ticket along with getting to meet some characters.

Hubby and I are still debating whether to attend the After Hours Event at Magic Kingdom next year or wait to do the 2025 Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. I haven’t been to MNSSHP since 2019 so it will be a hard decision. Who knows maybe we will do both!
