Many times when imagining your trip to Disney in Orlando comes to mind the countless queues and crowded parks that you will take, especially if you have small children. We have already given some tips here on the blog on how to make the most of your walk in the parks, saving time and money, such as the FastPass+.
Today we are going to bring one more tip that many people have heard of, but are not sure how it works.
 
 What is Disney After Hours?

Disney holds the Disney After Hours at the Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom parks, which takes place after the closure of these parks. The visitor enters from 19 hours and has 3 hours to enjoy the attractions to the maximum without catching so much queue, as tickets are super limited.
The ticket is sold separately from the normal ticket, being specific to the event. They can be purchased in advance, directly on the Disney website or at the box office.
In advance they cost 129 dollars per person (adult or child) + taxes, at the time they usually cost 139 dollars.
It is important to be aware of the dates and times as they vary a lot, as well as the attractions that will be open, as they are not all. Looking ahead to organizing your trip, you will enjoy your days in Orlando much more, especially if you are traveling with young children. For example, you can spend the day at the outlets or another park and at night enjoy Disney After Hours.
Another very interesting point of the event, which can mean savings for your trip, is that the ticket already entitles you to free soft drinks, water, ice cream and popcorn.
