Disney After Hours at Magic Kingdom is a specially ticketed event (meaning it's a ticket that is purchased separate from regular park tickets) that allows people to enter Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom at 7 p.m. and stay until midnight or 1 a.m. (ending time varies by date).
To enter a Theme Park you'll need valid Admission (e.g., a Theme Park Ticket or Annual Pass) and a Park Pass Reservation. As long as you have those pieces in place, you are welcome to enter the park any time during the park's opening hours. So, as long as it's before the posted closing time, you're welcome to enter!
However, that has changed. You now can only park hop AFTER 2PM. So you'll have to wait until well after lunchtime if you're planning on visiting another park. However, this rule is different for Annual Passholders.
With a Disney base ticket, you're welcome to leave and re-enter the same theme park as many times as you like during the same day. So, if you want to visit the Magic Kingdom in the morning, go back to your hotel room for a nap, and return to the Magic Kingdom in the evening, then you do not need a Park Hopper ticket.
The typical hours for Magic Kingdom's are 8AM or 9AM to 10PM or 11PM, but hours vary even beyond that. On nights where Magic Kingdom hosts an After Hours or holiday party event, the park may close earlier than other days.

Disney After Hours tickets are around the same price as regular, full-day theme park tickets. Expensive: Since the event is typically 3 hours long, then the cost per hour is much high compared to normal tickets. Disney After Hours is only available on select dates (see below) Not all rides are open.
It is the same price for everyone whether you arrive at Park Opening or at 4 pm. Annual Passholders now have the ability to visit the Parks with their pass after 2 pm with no Park Reservations. However, they are limited by their blackout dates and can't do this at Magic Kingdom Park on weekends.
Get a Head Start on the FunWhile this Disney After Hours event officially begins at 10:00 PM, your special-event ticket enables you to enter Magic Kingdom park as early as 7:00 PM?when the park is still open to other Guests. You do not need a park reservation or additional ticket to enter the park at or after 7:00 PM.

If you are a ride junkie looking to fit as many attractions as possible into the shortest amount of time, then a Disney After Hours event may be worth the cost.

EPCOT most commonly closes at 9:00 pm each night, but will sometimes stay open later on particularly busy days, weekends, or holidays. We saw hours extended quite a bit last year in EPCOT, allowing guests to stay in the park anywhere from 9:30 pm, 10:00 pm, or even 11:00 pm.
MNSSHP and MVMCP are separately-ticketed, meaning that only those who purchased event tickets are able to stay in Magic Kingdom after 6 pm. (Those parties run until midnight.) In other words, the park stays open 4-5 hours later to regular guests when MNSSHP and MVMCP are not held.
You don't need a parks pass reservation for any parks you visit after 2PM after you visit your first park, however you do need to start your day at that first park with a parks pass reservation. You cannot simply show up at any park after 2PM if you haven't first used a park pass reservation to visit a park.
