2026 Dates, Prices, and Details for Disney After Hours
Disney After Hours returns to Walt Disney World in 2026, offering guests the chance to enjoy the parks with lower crowds and shorter wait times. This separately ticketed event takes place at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios on select nights. Guests can look forward to three extra hours of park time after closing! 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., giving them extra time to enjoy what they like before the event begins. Once the park closes to day guests, After Hours attendees have up to three additional hours to experience attractions with minimal waits. Admission also includes unlimited soda, bottled water, popcorn, and ice cream novelties from select snack stands.

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. Most recently, 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.
Disney After Hours is a popular way to experience the parks with lighter crowds, shorter waits, and plenty of treats. With 2026 details now available, you can begin planning which event works best for your trip! To see all of our coverage, our guide to Disney After Hours is a good place to start.
