    • Themed food and beverages available for purchase
    • Holiday-themed Disney PhotoPass photo opportunities (photos available for purchase)
    • Special lighting, music and more!
  • The After Hours event will begin at 9:00 PM on select nights, running until 1:00 AM with guests able to enter that park as early as 7:00PM.
  • Notably, these tickets do not require an additional theme park ticket or Disney Park Pass reservation.
  • The event starts November 8th, and runs on select nights through December 21st, 2021. Tickets are expected to go on sale next month, and no price has been given at this time.
