Disney recently invited me to experience Disney After Hours at Animal Kingdom, a special ticketed event that allows guests exclusive access to various attractions after the park closes. Tickets to this event were provided on behalf of Disney. However, thoughts and opinions shared below on my experience are my own.


Dreams do come true! If you've ever wished you could have the parks all to yourself, now you can... sort of. Disney After Hours provides guests with exclusive access to select attractions after the park closes for the day, available at three of the four Walt Disney World parks.

Three hours may not seem like a lot of time, but trust me, you can do a LOT when there are little-to-no wait times! I recently attended Disney After Hours at Animal Kingdom, and boy, was it great. I was able to literally walk-on Avatar Flight of Passage not once, but twice. Before park close, the wait time was 160 minutes. Once the event started, it dropped down to 5. Amazing!

Oh, and there's plenty of snacks available throughout the park, included with admission. I had my fair share of popcorn and Mickey bars throughout the evening!

If you're looking to experience Animal Kingdom in a unique way and enjoy having the park *almost* to yourself, definitely check out Disney After Hours!

Thanks again to Disney for having me!
