After Hours parties at Walt Disney World are the best time, because they are low attendance ticketed events after the park closes for the day. After Hours parties at Walt Disney World offer exclusive entertainment and treats. Plus, you can enjoy many of the most popular attractions with practically no wait time. June 6-August 8 is a special new Disney After Hours event themed to the Disney villains. This is not the same thing as Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, however there are some similarities. While children are welcome, the ticket price is the same as adults. Here are the details regarding the new Disney Villains After Hours Party at Magic Kingdom.
New Stage Show
The villains that usually only come out for Halloween are taking over select summer nights as well. There is even a new stage show exclusive to the event. The castle Stage will present Villains Unite the Night, which is a 20+ minute show featuring Hades, Maleficent, Jafar, Dr. Facilier and more.
New Limited Merchandise
It wouldn’t be a Disney event without limited edition and exclusive merchandise. So, of course, there will be villain themed apparel and other items for purchase, including a must have collection of Villain products curated by Disney.
Inspired Food and Beverage
The night will also feature decadent treats and sinful eats. Halloween Favorites like Zurg’s Noodles and the Not So Poison Apple cupcakes are returning along with some devilish new food and beverage surprises. In addition to the villain inspired foods available for purchase, ice cream, popcorn, and select beverages are complimentary.
Disneybounding
Although the dress code and costume policy applies to this event, guests are strongly encouraged to Disneybound as their favorite villain in the spirit of the fun! It’s exciting to see Disney embrace Disneybounding in this way and it makes you wonder if Disney may be selling some merchandise compatible with Disneybounding. The costume guidelines essentially state that you can’t wear costumes to look like an actual Disney character. Kids under 14 are allowed to wear costumes. The rules are vague for adults, because the policy guidelines say there may be exceptions for events such as Disney Villains After Hours, but such exceptions are not explicit. To avoid getting turned away at the gate, I suggest sticking to Disneybounding. Other policy guidelines forbid excessively torn or revealing clothing, objectionable tattoos, or apparel with objectionable content.
Dark Kingdom
Magic Kingdom will undergo a transformation of light and sound with a new twisted lighting scheme and diabolical music. So, it’s a good opportunity to see the park in a whole new way and get tons of unique photos. Although this event does not have character meet and greets, Maleficent will be roaming around as a fire breathing dragon.
Dates and Times
Disney Villains After Hours takes place on every Thursday from June 6th to August 8th. However, there is one exception. On July 3rd. Magic Kingdom is dedicating two nights to the Fourth of July starting on the 3rd. On this week the Villain event will take place on Monday July 1st. The three hour party begins at 10:00 pm.
