The One Date You MUST Know for Disney World’s After Hours Events

If you want to see the Disney World theme parks like you’ve never seen them before, you should check out the after hours events.

These separately ticketed events allow you to stay late in the parks, hop on attractions with lower wait times, enjoy special treats and snacks, and often meet rare characters! Disney just released information about the after hours events coming up this summer at EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Typhoon Lagoon, including the DATE you need to know if you want to book tickets to these exclusive events.

After hours events have been added for EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios this summer, and H2O Glow Nights are returning to Typhoon Lagoon this summer as well.

The new 2023 dates begin on May 20th for H2O Glow Nights, June 1st for EPCOT after hours events, and May 3rd for Hollywood Studios after hours events. For all of these events, you can purchase your tickets starting on March 3rd, 2023. However, if you’re staying at a Disney World hotel (including all Disney-owned hotels, the Shades of Green resort, and the Walt Disney World Swan, Dolphin, and Swan Reserve hotels), you can purchase tickets starting on February 28th.

Tickets for these events range in price from $75 to $149 per person, although Disney Vacation Club Members and Annual Passholders will get a discount. Remember that the events are separately ticketed. You cannot attend the after hours event with just a normal daytime park ticket, and you cannot go into the parks earlier during the day with after hours event tickets.
