If you’re like us, you probably want to get as many rides as possible done during your Disney World trip!
We like to make the most of our time in the parks by strategizing, showing up early, and staying until the park closes — using every single one of those hours we paid for. But if you REALLY want to get some bang for your buck and check off everything on your to-do list, there’s one vacation add-on we like to recommend!
After Hours events recently returned to Disney World. These hard-ticketed events take place on select nights at the parks and allow you to pay extra to stay late. They come with short lines for rides, low crowds, and complimentary popcorn, ice cream novelties, and bottled drinks. It’s a great time! And if you’re interested in going to an After Hours event this year, Disney just added more dates.

Disney is really going crazy with prices for these events when we are already paying thousands for a trip….leaves us out completely….there’s just so much we can do….it’s becoming a money pit sadly
Why aren’t there more April dates for Hollywood Studios??? So disappointed!!!!!!!!!
