Independence Day for Disney World Resort Guests 

After Hours at Disney World are separately-ticketed events that deliver the ultimate nighttime experience at guests' favorite parks. With lower wait times, the chance to meet characters, and plenty of free snacks to fuel their adventures, Disney After Hours is a limited-capacity party — also known as the unforgettable experience they've been looking for to add to their next vacation.

Fellow Night Owls Listen Up: Here's everything they need to know about upcoming Disney World After Hours events and how to make the most of their visit.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios After Hours

Guests should get ready for their close up: Hollywood Studios hosts its After Hours event from 9:30 PM to 12:30 AM on select evenings until September 3, 2025.

To get the most out of your evening in the Hollywood spotlight, guests should come to the park as early as 7:00 PM, before the official event even begins. Guests with an After Hours ticket do not need to make a park reservation to come in before the event officially starts. That’s so much extra time to wave to their adoring fans!

Rides Open at Hollywood Studios After Hours

The stars of Hollywood Studios are swirling, twirling, and even saving the galaxy during After Hours all with notably lower wait times.

• Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run
• Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
• Slinky Dog Dash
• Toy Story Mania!
• Alien Swirling Saucers
• The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
• Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith
• Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway

Surprise Character Encounters

As guests make their way through the park during After Hours, they never know who might be waiting for them around the corner. They should expect the unexpected, with characters roaming the streets of Hollywood, ready to say ‘hello!’

Lift a Glass and Grab a Bite

Around the park, outdoor bars will be ready to serve brews and select cocktails. Meanwhile, over at Oga’s Cantina, DJ R-3X will be spinning the hottest tunes this side of Coruscant as Oga serves up out-of-this-world cocktails and small bites. Guests can journey to Batuu for walk-up availability.

To fuel them long into the night, food and drinks will also be available at some of guests' favorite quick-service spots like:

• KRNR The Rock Station
• Milk Stand
• Woody’s Lunch Box

Snacks & Refreshments

We can’t think of many things as satisfying as asking for a Mickey Ice Cream Bar and just ... walking away with it. Select snacks are included in guests' tickets, such as ice cream novelties, popcorn, and bottled beverages. Snack carts will be scattered throughout the park, so they never have to go far to enjoy a tasty treat.

EPCOT offers its After Hours event from 10:00 PM to 1:00 AM on select evenings through September 25, 2025. Like Hollywood Studios, tickets allow guests to enter EPCOT as early as 7:00 PM. This gives them a full six hours to party the night away.

Can’t-Miss Jam Sessions

The party vibes are going strong at a DJ dance party where guests can join in on a fun, interactive character meet and greet with the Goof himself. For After Hours dates up to Sept. 1, guests will have plenty of room at CommuniCore Plaza to show Goofy their best dance moves and maybe even the ones they're still working on.

The Canada Band will be rockin’ out during the After Hours festivities. With plenty of room to dance (and lots of seating for those night owl legs), the Canada Mill Stage is a central hub for guests to toast, groove, and maybe even howl under the moon with their crew.

Get Your Grub On Around the World

EPCOTerrans can fuel up as they party throughout the evening and around the World Showcase. Here are a few of our fav spots to purchase food and drink during EPCOT After Hours:

• Various kiosks around the World Showcase

Dream Arrival Day: Free Water Park Splash and Then After Hours Bash

If guests are like us, they are always dreaming of their next Disney vacation and all the resort play, Park Hopping, and special event combinations they can fit into their stays. And an After Hours evening is definitely easy to work into their latest itinerary masterpiece.

For those staying at a Disney Resort hotel, they've got a splashy perk to work into their master plan: Resort guests can enjoy complimentary admission to a Disney water park on the day they check in. And during Cool Kid Summer, Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon are both open!

Let’s set the scene: Guests arrive at Disney World, drop their bags at the resort (bell services will hold their stuff), and park their car. They then hop on a Disney bus to a Water Park to take a relaxing glide down a lazy river or, hey, a wild slide down the side of Mount Gushmore.

Cool Kid Summer is in full swing at Blizzard Beach, with special activities, a dance party, and a chance to spot Goofy in his beach attire. Later guests can head back to the resort to transition into their sweetest sneaker-and-Goofy-ear-hat combo that screams, ‘Cool Kid Summer,’ and then they're off to the glimmer, glow, and snacks of After Hours at Hollywood Studios or EPCOT. Sounds like the perfect arrival day to us.

And, if they're looking for a way to make a splash after the sun goes down, they can enjoy Disney's Typhoon Lagoon like never before at H2O Glow After Hours now through Sept. 13. Annual Passholder and Disney Vacation Club discounts are also available for H2O Glow.

Guests can extend their magic into the night with a ticket to Disney After Hours to keep the excitement going well past dark. With lower wait times, complimentary snacks, surprise character encounters, and an overall more relaxed atmosphere, After Hours is perfect for both first-time guests and seasoned Disney fans looking to make their Disney trip even more special.

Complimentary admission to a Disney water park on the day of check in is subject to availability.

Well, now we are hungry. We hope to see everyone on June 27 at Flavors of Florida over at Disney Springs!

With these tasty adventures, the possibilities are endless when you visit Disney Parks. Follow us to stay in-the-know on all the yummy items on the way. 

(Note: All offerings are subject to change and availability.)

The Disney Cruise Line and Walt Disney Imagineering teams are hard at work with the crew at Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany to bring Disney Cruise Line’s heroes and villains-themed ship, the Disney Destiny, to life.

Here on the Disney Destiny ship’s log, get an exclusive look at the shipbuilding process, along with behind-the-scenes looks at some of the exciting Disney stories coming to life inside. Be sure to bookmark this page for regular updates all the way through the ship’s maiden voyage on November 20 from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. 

For the first time in Disney Cruise Line history, a Marvel Super Hero will be the signature stern character on the Disney Destiny, a hallmark design feature that represents each ship’s unique theme and personality. Now in its final stages of completion, this larger-than-life sculpture will eventually be installed among the filigree on the back of the ship, showcasing Spider-Man and his Spider-Bots attempting to assist with decorating the stern. 

Like its sister ships, the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure, a fan-favorite focal point of the Disney Destiny’s staterooms will be the oversized custom art piece mounted in place of a headboard above the main bed. Inspired by the ship’s theme of “heroes and villains,” these murals will depict the alluring duality and epic journeys of famous Disney and Pixar legends, such as Hercules, Mulan and Merida — the designs for which were revealed today for the first time. 

Walt Disney Imagineering has dreamed up two incredible statues destined for Edna Á La Mode Sweets, an all-new confectionary inspired by Pixar Animation Studios’ “The Incredibles.”

Taking cues from the “Auntie Edna” short film, the statues showcase Edna Mode — fashion designer for the world’s most famous Supers — hard at work while attempting to entertain the unpredictable super baby Jack-Jack with sweet treats. 

Imagineers partnered with Pixar Animation Studios to create the sculptures, from sketch to digital model to reality. When finished, they’ll be transported to the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany for installation and finally prepared for the sweetest of photo ops aboard the Disney Destiny. 

A defining trait of every Disney Cruise Line ship is the signature character statue that welcomes guests as soon as they step on board. For the first time ever, the Disney Destiny will feature a Marvel Super Hero in this place of honor: T’Challa, the original Black Panther. 

Walt Disney Imagineering is currently putting the finishing touches on this stunning depiction of T’Challa standing strong atop a jut of rock, the feline form of a black panther at his feet. To set this bronze statue apart, Imagineers designed a textured black finish with silver and purple accents that infuse the sculpture with a sense of life, capturing the power and grace of the King of Wakanda. Check out this video on Instagram for a first look! 

This one-of-a-kind statue will ultimately take its place in the Wakanda-inspired Grand Hall, beckoning cruisers into a brand-new world of heroes and villains … and legendary vacation memories.

Last week, the Disney Destiny completed another exciting construction milestone at Meyer Werft Shipyard when it touched water for the first time. The process, known as “float up,” began by flooding the building dock with water from the Ems River in order to lift the Disney Destiny from the floor of the chamber. The ship was then guided to another position in the hall, where the team will begin testing different systems onboard, including the main engines. In the coming months, the shipyard team will continue to focus on building out the legendary interior spaces coming to the Disney Destiny.

Today, we are bringing you a first look at this ship’s progress and are excited to share that the final blocks (i.e. sections of the ship) were put into place in late 2024. That’s right – with the last piece of the ship in place, the ship’s exterior is now structurally complete and outfitting work has begun on the interior. Take a look at this timelapse construction footage to see the Disney Destiny’s progress, including a look at how it was built alongside the Disney Treasure in the shipyard.

Buckle up for a new spin on a fan-favorite attraction – Test Track presented by General Motors will reopen on July 22! 

This attraction update will debut an all-new musical score, as well as new scenes that highlight technology making our cars smarter and our lives more fun.

See Through the “Eyes” of a Vehicle

One of those scenes showcases how vehicles can use advanced cameras and sensors to “see” the world they drive through. Walt Disney Imagineers were able to represent this tech utilizing over 29,000 points of light!

While Test Track has always celebrated new and future automotive technology, it’s also a reminder of what a road trip is all about: spending quality time in the company of friends and family while embracing the beauty of the world around us. 

The Road Ahead 

The team is hard at work on the finishing touches (detailing the final details, if you will), getting the attraction green light ready.  

Just like drivers always check their mirrors when they get behind the wheel, we encourage guests to keep an eye out for more information to share in the coming weeks about special previews for Annual Passholders, Disney Vacation Club Members, Golden Oak residents and Club 33 Members alike to ride before the attraction officially reopens. 

Looking for ways to fill your summer with Disney excitement before you hit the road on the reimagined Test Track? We’re celebrating Cool KID SUMMER across the resort, with lots of extra family fun to be found for the young and the young at heart. And if guests are gearing up for their next thrill before July 22, find thrills with attractions like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, TRON Lightcycle / Run presented by Enterprise, Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain, Slinky Dog Dash, and oh so much more across the Walt Disney World Resort. 

Let’s go! 

And, there’s still enough time to catch a super-stretch limo to the Forum to enjoy Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith before it closes in 2026.
