The number of dates represents an increase of about 20% over 2025. Disney After Hours is typically not held in the last 3 months of the year due to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party both dominating the Magic Kingdom schedule, and Extended Evening Hours shifting to Hollywood Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom.
Disney After Hours events typically run from 10:00pm to 1:00am at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, and 9:30pm to 12:30am at Hollywood Studios. Attendees can enter the park as early as 7:00pm using only their Disney After Hours admission media. In addition to smaller crowds, Disney After Hours also features complimentary snacks including non-alcoholic beverages, ice cream novelties and popcorn, and unique character greet opportunities.
Prices range from $175-199 for Magic Kingdom, $155-179 for EPCOT and $155-189 for Disney's Hollywood Studios. Disney Vacation Club owners and Annual Passholders can save $30 per ticket for events at EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. Discounts are not available for Magic Kingdom nights. DVC members must qualify for Membership Extras in order to receive the discount. Discounted tickets may be purchased for family and friends, however the member must be present upon arrival to show their ID.
Tickets go on sale September 4, 2024 for guests with an upcoming Walt Disney World resort reservation and on September 10 for the general public.
All guests staying at Disney Deluxe resorts, including Disney Vacation Club destinations, are eligible to participate in Extended Evening Hours. This free resort perk provides 2 hours of late night park access at two theme parks per week. All Disney resort guests receive 30 minutes of Early Entry to all 4 theme parks daily.
