- A variety of snacks and treats are included free of charge.
- Due to limited attendance, lines for the attraction were short.
It's similar to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, but there are some key differences.
- After-hours events do not always offer additional themed entertainment, such as parades or fireworks. Some special After Hours offerings with names like “Villains After Hours” may provide additional entertainment, and this year’s Magic Kingdom After Hours event will include a Disney Enchantment screening.
- It begins after regular business hours, so daytime crowd patterns will not be affected. And if you attend After Hours, you can arrive near the end of regular hours and catch the park's evening fireworks before the event begins.
