Summer 2024 ‘After Hours’ Events Announced for Disney World Parks. We recommend doing the Disney After Hours if you want to try and do every ride in 1 day, or if you want to feel like you are alone in the parks. There is so much you can get done while the crowds are as low as they ever are. There have been a few nights we have gone to After Hour events and felt like we were alone in the Parks.
Free snacks, free water, soft drinks, Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind, Rise of the Resistance, and Tron Lightcycle Run on standby queues are all part of the magic.
“JUST ANNOUNCED Enjoy even more Disney After Hours events starting in April at Walt Disney World! More dates have been added which means more time to enjoy your favorite attractions, characters, and complimentary snacks!”
