Disney World confirms it will run Disney After Hours events in 2026

Disney World Resort has announced it will host a series of Disney After Hours events through 2026.

The separately ticketed events give late-night access to Magic Kingdom Park, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and EPCOT - and importantly, attendance numbers are capped, so guests can enjoy the top attractions with dramatically reduced wait times.

Dates announced by Disney Parks today see the late-night events run at Magic Kingdom from 12 January until 27 July, with a 10:00 pm start time and finishing at 1:00 am.

In the same week, on 14 January, After Hours will start at Hollywood Studios until 12 September, from 9:30pm to 12:30am.

After Hours will begin at Epcot on 22 January and continue until 24 September, also between 9:30 pm and 12:30 am.

Guests at the event also enjoy unlimited, included snacks, ice cream and beverages.

Hotel guests at Disney World can start booking their After Hours tickets from 9 October, and regular park guests can book tickets from 14 October.
