Magic Kingdom After Hours
Looking for a way to beat the crowds AND the summer sun in Disney World? Well then, you’re in luck, because there are FIVE different After Hours events happening in Disney World this June! Without further ado, let’s review all of the After Hours events you can choose from next month!
Enjoy Magic Kingdom attractions with minimal waits during the After Hours Events at Magic Kingdom! This is a separately ticketed event priced at $175 to $199 per person, depending on the date. And, even though the event is pricey, you get a LOT of great perks and entertainment for the price of admission!

After Hours
The event takes place on select nights from 10:00 PM to 1:00 AM. Plus, you can get a head start by entering Magic Kingdom as early as 7:00 PM for a few bonus hours before the event officially begins! The Magic Kingdom After Hours dates for next month are June 1st, 22nd, and 29th.

Magic Kingdom After Hours
The capacity for this special event is limited so crowds are SUPER low. During After Hours, guests can ride over 20 Magic Kingdom attractions (including TRON Lightcycle / Run). And, in case the short waits for rides didn’t have you sold already, guests can also enjoy an After Hours EXCLUSIVE firework show: Enchantment!

Magic Kingdom After Hours
To top it all off, the event also includes unlimited free ice cream, popcorn, and drinks! Capacity for these events is super limited to keep the crowds low, so be sure to snag your tickets ASAP since they can sell out!
Magic Kingdom isn’t the only park that gets in on the After Hours fun! Disney After Hours at Disney’s Hollywood Studios also gives you the chance to enjoy many of the attractions at Disney’s Hollywood Studios with minimal lines. Ticket prices for this one range from $155 to $189 per person, depending on the date.
After Hours Event
On most dates, the event runs from 9:30 PM to 12:30 AM (which is the case for all of the June dates), and you can also enter as early as 7:00 PM, just like in Magic Kingdom. The Hollywood Studios After Hours dates for next month are June 3rd, 10th, 17th, and 24th.
Toy Story Mania After Hours
As is the trend for After Hours events, capacity for this super is limited, which means little to no wait for most of the attractions that are open! The available attractions are subject to change, but the ones Disney lists include Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Slinky Dog Dash, Toy Story Mania, and Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, among others. And if you like Character Greetings, be sure to keep an eye out for surprise characters that “roam the streets of Hollywood!”
Crowds during Hollywood Studios After Hours
Ice cream novelties, popcorn, and select drinks are included in Hollywood Studios as well, so you can keep yourself fueled during the event! Again, just make sure to lock down those tickets as soon as your plans are set, since dates do sell out.
Next up, EPCOT also offers After Hours events, similar to the ones in Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios! Tickets for Disney After Hours at EPCOT range from $155 to $179 per person, depending on the date.
EPCOT After Hours
EPCOT’s After Hours events take place from 9:30 PM to 12:30 AM, and (you guessed it) you can enter the park as early as 7:00 PM with your event ticket. Next month’s EPCOT After Hours dates are June 11th and 18th.
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure
Also similar to the other parks, the limited capacity offers easy access to attractions open during the event. Of course, they are subject to change, but the list includes headliner rides like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Soarin’, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and Frozen Ever After, to name a few. Other entertainment includes character meet and greets and a DJ in World Discovery!
Mickey’s Ice Cream Bar
You can also snag those ice cream novelties, popcorn, and select drinks included with the price of your ticket. And, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, remember to buy your tickets as early as possible in case dates start to sell out!
This one’s for the water park fans! H2O Glow After Hours is a separately ticketed event at Typhoon Lagoon Water Park that adds a “glow-in-the-dark” spin to the late-night event game! Tickets for this one are $85 to $89 per person, varying by date.
H2O Glow After Hours
The event takes place from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM, and guests can enter as early as 6:00 PM. The H2O Glow dates for next month are June 2nd, 13th, 19th, and 27th.
Jessie and Woody at H20 Glow in 2018
Since it’s a limited-capacity event as well, guests can enjoy shorter lines and lower crowds for attractions, including the Typhoon Lagoon Surf Pool, Castaway Creek, raft rides, and waterslides… and they are illuminated for the nighttime just for the event! There are more event-exclusive offerings as well, including a DJ dance party, exclusive menu items, Disney character appearances, and more.
Strawberry Matcha Swirl Cone
Select novelty ice cream treats, popcorn, and some drinks are included at this event as well! And, say it with us, get your tickets soon if you’d like to attend, since capacity is limited.
Okay, this is where things get a bit different! Extended Evening Hours is the only item in this list that you CAN’T buy a ticket for. Extended Evening Hours is a perk offered for guests staying at a Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Walt Disney World Resort hotel for the length of their stay. Just keep in mind that to access Extended Evening Hours, you do need a regular park ticket for that day.
Extended Evening Hours at EPCOT
During extended hours, select attractions, merchandise, and food and beverage locations are open. Although, unlike the After Hours events listed above, you won’t find the free snacks and drinks at Extended Evening Hours!
Test Track during Extended Evening Hours at EPCOT
Extended Evening Hours are offered only at one park on select dates, with day-by-day details available on the Disney World park calendar. The Extended Evening Hours dates listed for June are:
Rose and Crown Pub During Extended Evening Hours
Remember to check the calendar for Extended Evening Hours during your vacation if you’re staying at a Deluxe hotel, so you don’t miss out on this perk!
Taking advantage of one of the separately ticketed After Hours events (OR Extended Evening Hours, if you qualify) is a GREAT way to experience the parks with minimal crowds, short waits for headliner attractions, and soak in the unique late-night vibes around Disney World. If that sounds like something on your Disney bucket list, be sure to grab your tickets while you can!
