Large Crowds For First Night of Disney After Hours at the Magic Kingdom
If you’ve been following along with MickeyBlog you may have seen our coverage last week from After Hours at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Well tonight our MickeyBloggers Greg and Elyssa are at it again. They’re bringing us the sights and sounds from Disney After Hours at Magic Kingdom.
For those unfamiliar, Disney After Hours at Magic Kingdom is a ticketed event that allows you to enjoy Magic Kingdom park after the gates close.
Some of the highlights of this limited-capacity nighttime event includes:
- The chance to enjoy more than 20 attractions with lower wait times.
- Complimentary snacks, soft drinks and ice cream treats!
- The chance to get a jumpstart on the fun by entering the park as early as 7pm (a few hours before the event officially begins!)
Just like the first night of Hollywood Studios After Hours, the first night of Disney After Hours Magic Kingdom was a sell-out!
Just look at these incredible crowds that turned up for the event.
The lines were winding almost all the way to the monorail tracks.
Those lucky enough to get tickets for Disney After Hours at the Magic Kingdom can celebrate Disney World’s 50th Anniversary before the festivities end on March 31, 2023.
Here’s a video Greg and Elyssa took to gave you a sense of the crowds.
