The popular Disney World After Hours events are RETURNING in 2025!
Hollywood Studios at Night
If you’re a night owl looking for a way to enjoy the parks with minimal crowds, Disney World has the perfect experience for you! In 2025, After Hours events are returning to Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios once again. These limited-ticket events allow guests to enjoy low crowds at the parks and short wait times for some of the most popular attractions.
The 2025 After Hours events will kick off on January 6th at Magic Kingdom, January 22nd at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and February 27th at EPCOT. And while there are a total of 22 After Hours dates scheduled at Disney’s Hollywood Studios next year, there are two specific dates that might give you more of a bang for your buck than the others!
Mickey in Hollywood Studios!
For most of the After Hours dates in Hollywood Studios, the event is scheduled to run from 9:30PM-12:30AM. However, guests with an After Hours ticket can enter the park as early as 7PM while regular day guests are also still there.
Hollywood Studios
But there are two exceptions to this schedule. On March 26th and April 1st, Hollywood Studios After Hours will run from 10PM-1AM, starting and ending 30 minutes later than the other dates.

While the event itself is still a total of 3 hours long, guests can still enter the park at 7PM, meaning a Hollywood Studios After Hours ticket for March 26th and April 1st technically includes 30 minutes more park access than tickets for the other dates.

Disney has not yet released the full list of prices for the After Hours dates, so it’s possible that those dates could have higher price tags than some of the other events. But if your main concern is time in the park rather than budget, it could still be worth it to snag a ticket to one of these dates, regardless of the pricing!
After Hours Event Crowds
The Hollywood Studios attractions open during After Hours include super popular rides like Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Slinky Dog Dash, and MORE, so this could be your shot to experience your must-dos without the long lines!
