(If you’re a Disney Annual Passholder or Disney Vacation Club Member, you get a bit of a break at $95 per person.) At the time of this writing, Magic Kingdom After Hours tickets are $125 per person in advance and $129 day-of.
Magic Kingdom After Hours is a pricey event. (and maybe several hundred of your closest friends.) There is a catch though. For three hours, you feel like you essentially have the park to yourself. I would spend a half day at Epcot, get up the next morning super early and pre-rope-drop Pandora: The World of Avatar at Animal Kingdom, park hop over to Disney’s Hollywood Studios for Toy Story Land, among other things, in the afternoon, and finish the evening at Magic Kingdom After Hours, an event that takes place on select nights at Disney’s Magic Kingdom.Īccording to Disney, Magic Kingdom after hours gives guests a chance to rediscover Magic Kingdom park after dark, after the day guests clear and the gates close. I was able to squeeze the highlights of all four Disney parks into a day and a half.īut how? Some semi-intense, not quite military-level precision planning.
My goal was simple, hit the “highlights.” Experience new attractions that I hadn’t yet experienced, while also taking time to visit my favorite attractions at all four Walt Disney World parks. Recently, while doing some work in Florida, I was able to carve a day and a half’s worth of time to squeeze in a quick Disney trip on the way home. However, after I moved to North Carolina, trips to Orlando became fewer and farther between. It was just about a 2 hour drive each way, and was possible to go up-and-back in a single day. Growing up in South Florida, a trip to Walt Disney World was something my family did at least four or five times a year.
