Calling all Disney World night owls!
Cinderella Castle at night
If you do your best theme parking late at night, there are plenty of ways to accomplish your goals long after dark. From holiday parties to Extended Evening Hours, we’ve spent plenty of late nights in the parks. And if that’s your plan, you’ll be happy to know that a popular event is returning for 2025!
It was announced that Disney After Hours events are returning to Disney World in 2025! These limited-ticket events are great for enjoying low crowds and low wait times at popular attractions.

For 2025, you’ll be able to purchase tickets to attend this event at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios once again. You can enter the parks as early as 7PM and stay until 3 hours after park close — that’s plenty of hours of park time to accomplish your to-do list!
