Is it worth going to Disney at night?

If you want to make sure you can get everything in but only have a short time to do it, these events are absolutely worth the price of admission in place of a full-day ticket. We feel that Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom allows you to get the best bang for your buck attractions-wise with an After Hours ticket.

For those with short trips, Disney After Hours is an excellent way to make the most of your time in the park, since you'll be able to get so much done in a short amount of time. So, if you're looking for a truly special and unforgettable Disney experience, we highly recommend giving Disney After Hours a try.

MORE DETAILS

Disney After Hours 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).

Believe it or not, as night falls at Magic Kingdom, the crowds start to dwindle. That's because families with young children take the opportunity to head home for bedtime and you're left with a surprisingly less crowded park. (You ever wonder where all the thousands of strollers go at night?)

The Magic Kingdom park at Walt Disney World is the most visiting theme park in the world so one of the other most popular questions we receive is, which day of the week is the slowest at Magic Kingdom? And as a general rule of thumb Tuesdays tend to be the slowest day at Magic Kingdom park.

I think we get more out of being there at night. In the morning, everyone is scrambling to get on rides, and lines tend to get long quickly. At night, everyone is tired of waiting in lines all day, so they're filtering out of the park, and lines can be a lot shorter (often much shorter than posted times).

Unfortunately, there isn't an option to visit for a half or partial day. I would suggest that you consider adding another day to your existing ticket if a theme park reservation is available for the half-day you would like to visit.

That harsh sunlight is replaced with the soft twinkling of lanterns and atmospheric lighting that sets the scene for after-dark magic. Not only does it give your ride experience a completely different feel, but there are some attractions that are even better to enjoy at night than during the day.
