I know every dollar counts on a Walt Disney World vacation, so I try to be very thoughtful about any extra I suggest to my clients. There are a few add-ons I really believe in at the Walt Disney World Resort, and one of them is a Disney After Hours event.

For 3 hours (after official park closing) you’ll get to explore EPCOT, Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios or Typhoon Lagoon with far fewer guests. These events honestly feel like a little taste of the old Extra Magic Hours - but even better, because they’re truly limited-capacity. This means very low wait times, a relaxed pace, and a near “empty park” feeling. And (bonus!) unlimited popcorn, ice cream novelties (Mickey ice cream bars) and a variety of bottled drinks are also included with your admission.

While they are a premium charge, the low waits, low crowds and included treats really make it worth the cost - especially for repeat visitors, night owls, families looking for a calmer park experience, or anyone looking to make the most of a shorter stay.

✨ If you could visit any of the parks for an After Hours event, which would you pick?

Tomorrowland’s Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor is an interactive, family-friendly comedy show inside Magic Kingdom.

During the show, guests get to watch Mike Wazowski and his monster friends hard at work collecting laughter as they tell their funniest jokes. And one of the best parts is that the audience sometimes becomes part of the show!

If your kids love knock-knock jokes or someone in your family lives for a good corny dad joke, this is their chance to take the spotlight for a bit.

Come prepared with a few jokes…while you’re in the queue, a code word for the show will be revealed along with a number to text your joke in your best jokes before the show starts. And with any luck, your joke could end up being used during the show!

✨ Has anyone in your family ever had their joke used during the show?

If you’re torn between visiting Disneyland or Walt Disney World this fall, let me tell you about one of the coolest and most uniquely themed Halloween experiences that might just steer you toward California: Cars Land’s Haul-O-Ween celebration!

Radiator Springs transforms into Radiator Screams every fall, and it is awesome! The entire land gets decked out in clever, car-themed Halloween décor (think traffic cone jack-o’-lanterns and “scary” spare parts), the residents of Radiator Springs dress up in adorable “car-stumes”, and the attractions get fun seasonal overlays like Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween and Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree. At night, you’ll find the entire land glowing with orange and purple lighting that adds just the right amount of spooky.

If you’d like to experience this too-cute-to-be-spooky version of Cars Land, I’d love to help you with your plans! Contact me today and let’s make it happen!
