Disney After Hours 2027: Dates, Prices, and Details
Disney After Hours returns to Walt Disney World in 2027, a separately ticketed event that gives guests the opportunity to enjoy the parks with lower crowds and shorter wait times. The event takes place at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios on select nights between January and August. Here’s a quick overview of how it works.
Guests attending Disney After Hours may enter the park as early as 7:00 p.m., allowing extra time to enjoy attractions and other offerings before the event officially begins. Once the park closes to day guests, After Hours attendees have up to three additional hours to experience attractions with minimal waits. Admission includes unlimited soda, bottled water, popcorn, and ice cream novelties at select locations set up throughout the park.
Tickets are now available for guests with existing hotel reservations at select Walt Disney World Resort Hotels, the Swan and Dolphin Hotels, and Shades of Green. All other guests can purchase tickets beginning September 22, 2026.

Final Thoughts
We love to attend Disney After Hours events if and when it works with our budget. We’ve attended multiple Disney After Hours at all three parks over the years. Within the last year, we attended a Disney After Hours event offered at Hollywood Studios. We had a wonderful time and were able to experience everything with little to no waits.
If you decide to purchase tickets, we recommend resting on the day of your visit and not overdoing it. When you attend any special event at Disney World, you’ll want to maximize your time in the park, doing the things that are most important to your family. Most guests at Disney After Hours are there for rides with low wait times. But some attend just for the opportunity to walk around the parks with minimal crowds, see a few characters, and enjoy as many Mickey bars as their hearts desire.
If you would like to know more about our experiences, we have a couple of reviews from previous years. Keep in mind that attractions, crowds, and entertainment can vary, but the overall experience remains the same.
