\"After<\/p>\n

In January 2018, my husband and I splurged on tickets to Disney After Hours<\/a> at the Magic Kingdom<\/a>. This is a $125 hard ticket event that gets you into the Magic Kingdom for 3 hours after closing. Most rides are open, some character meets, and you get all you care to enjoy popcorn, bottled water\/pop, and ice cream from the carts.\u00a0Disney After Hours\u00a0has now expanded to 3 parks, and doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. So the big question is\u2026 is it worth it?<\/p>\n

<\/span>It depends.<\/p>\n

If you are fairly new to Walt Disney World, or your trip is short, I think it\u2019s worth it. This was my second trip ever to Walt Disney World, and my husband\u2019s first. It was so awesome to start our trip with a 3-hour run in Magic Kingdom. The crowds are super small (but they are still there) and you can honestly hit every attraction with time to spare (if you plan it right!).<\/p>\n

If you are a Disney World veteran, or you have 2 full Magic Kingdom days already planned, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s worth it. Over two normal days in the park you can see all the things you\u2019ll want to see (we literally just saw everything twice on our trip since we had 2 MK days in addition to the After Hours event). Since park days get cheaper the more days you go, a 5-day park ticket with 2 days in MK is only costing you $83+ a day. Have extra cash to burn? I\u2019d go for a behind the scenes tour or something (I\u2019ve got my eyes on Keys to the Kingdom<\/a>!).<\/p>\n

Touring Plan<\/h3>\n

So if you decide you\u2019re going to go for an After Hours event at The Magic Kingdom, here\u2019s an outline of how we planned our evening to fit everything we wanted to see. The event ran from 8:00-11:00 p.m. on this night (park closing was 8:00 p.m.). We were allowed in at 7:00 p.m. I’ve heard you can get in at 7:00 p.m. no matter how late the party starts, so depending on the time of year you can get more hours for the same cash. Hopefully this itinerary is helpful!<\/p>\n
