The after-hours events will include special entertainment, character encounters, photo opportunities, themed food and drinks, unique merchandise, and what Disney describes as “a few supernatural surprises.”

*Themed backdrops for photos with unlimited digital downloads of Disney PhotoPass pictures.
*Limited-time Snapchat filters and event hashtags.
*After-hours access to select attractions New Orleans Square, Critter Country, Frontierland and Adventureland.
