Disney After Hours at Magic Kingdom

Two more nights of Disney After Hours at Magic Kingdom have sold out. Both the March 31 and April 7, 2025 events are now fully booked, continuing the strong demand for these limited-capacity late-night experiences.

These sellouts follow multiple other dates in January, February, and March—further proof that After Hours events at Magic Kingdom are among the most popular add-ons at Walt Disney World this year.

What’s Still Available?

Only four dates remain for Magic Kingdom After Hours in the current schedule:

  • April 28
  • May 5
  • May 12
  • May 19

What You Get with Disney After Hours

Disney After Hours offers guests access to Magic Kingdom after regular park closing, with much lower wait times, complimentary snacks, including ice cream, popcorn, and beverages. Admission begins at 7 PM, with event hours from 10 PM to 1 AM.

Attractions Open During the Event

The lineup includes many of the park’s headline rides:

  • TRON Lightcycle / Run
  • Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
  • Space Mountain
  • Pirates of the Caribbean
  • Haunted Mansion

However, two major Frontierland attractions remain unavailable:

  • Tiana’s Bayou Adventure – Removed from the After Hours lineup, likely due to reliability concerns.
  • Big Thunder Mountain Railroad – Currently closed for refurbishment.

Ticket Pricing and Discounts

Tickets for Magic Kingdom After Hours range from $175 to $185 plus tax.

Act Soon if You’re Planning to Attend

With March 31 and April 7 now sold out, the remaining dates are very likely to follow. If you’re considering attending a Disney After Hours event at Magic Kingdom this spring, now’s the time to decide—before the final dates disappear from the calendar.

And here I thought Enchantment was going to damn After Hours to never selling out. At least, that's what I was told on here when it was announced.
@wdwmagic just to update your article. There is no AP/DVC discount for Magic Kingdom after hours.
The Magic Kingdom After Hours event on May 5 is now sold out.
The Magic Kingdom After Hours event on May 19 is now sold out. May 12 is the last date available for After Hours at Magic Kingdom.

Shame many of these sell out. It’s becomes a hard sell to swap out Enchantment for Wishes.

I'll be in MK on 5/12. I briefly thought about it but then banished the thought as I'll be in DLR later in the week. Besides, the weather forecast isn't looking good for Monday. No wonder 5/12 is the last available.
The EPCOT After Hours event on May 29 is now sold out.
I attended the MK event last night, the rain held off in the end. It was really cool to see enchantment again, it was absolutely dead in the hub while it was on, it was actually the main reason we booked it.

I have been to sold-out Halloween and Christmas parties while also having attended a sold-out After Hours. The crowds at the parties were much larger. Wait times were reduced but not by that much and the firework shows were still packed. The after hour events were much better but the focus is more on enjoying rides than on the party. Mine Train and Tron were 25 minute waits and most other rides were walk-ons.
The Hollywood Studios After Hours event on May 28 has sold out.
Are any shows included at Hollywood Studios After Hours, or is it just the rides?

The stage shows typically stop around 7pm(ish), which is when the “mix-in” begins. Be sure to check the calendar for the day you plan on going.
Is there a good source of info for Cosmic Rewind wait time during the EPCOT after hours events? Will it be displayed on MDE if I can remember to check it on the relevant nights?
