After-hours events at Disney World and
Universal Orlando offer special programming for an additional
price. Theme Park Rangers Dewayne Bevil and Matt Palm analyze the
stage shows, fireworks (new ones this year), and “free” snacks at
Disney’s Villains After Hours, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween
Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. Universal's
Halloween Horror Nights mixes extreme frights and buckets of blood
to their after-hours event.
