Overview
- Disney confirmed on Saturday that Hollywood Studios will hold two separately ticketed Disney After Hours events on September 2 and September 12 with published event hours and tickets listed at about $155 for each date.
- Walt Disney World set September 14 as the opening date for The Magic of Disney Animation, a reimagined Animation Courtyard experience that includes Olaf Draws, Drawn to Wonderland, Off the Page!, a Once Upon a Studio Theater, and a new Olaf audio‑animatronic voiced by Josh Gad.
- Extended Evening Hours will run at Hollywood Studios on September 16, 23, and 30 from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., and the benefit is limited to guests registered at Disney Deluxe and Deluxe Villa resorts and certain participating hotels.
- Disney has published attraction lists for both After Hours and Extended Evening Hours that include headliners such as Slinky Dog Dash, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, Toy Story Mania!, and The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.
- Taken together these announcements add layered after‑dark access rather than remove daytime attractions, and they follow a broader fall pattern of sold‑out ticketed nights and private buyouts that make evening plans more costly and date‑dependent for average guests.
