Walt Disney World released its complete operational schedule and ticketing details for Disney After Hours. Separately ticketed evening events return to Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT throughout 2027. Selected nights run from January 11 through August 25, 2027. These limited-capacity events provide guests with three extra hours of park access after regular closing time. Attendees experience significantly reduced wait times for major headliner attractions.
Booking Windows and Ticket Sales
Tickets for 2027 events roll out in two distinct phases. Guests staying at Disney Resorts Collection hotels, the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, Swan Reserve, and Shades of Green received early access starting September 10, 2026. General public sales officially open on September 22, 2026. Industry analysts note minimal urgency to purchase during pre-sales. Most dates typically remain available until a month or less before the event.
Magic Kingdom Schedule and Pricing
Magic Kingdom anchors the 2027 calendar with 19 total dates running from January 11 through July 19, 2027. Events operate from 10:00 PM to 1:00 AM. Ticket prices range from $189 to $209 plus tax. This schedule offers one more date than the previous year. The season wraps up earlier in July to clear the way for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Ticket holders enter the park as early as 7:00 PM to experience headliners like TRON Lightcycle / Run and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.
Hollywood Studios and EPCOT Offerings
Disney’s Hollywood Studios features 22 dates running from January 16 through August 25, 2027. EPCOT hosts 15 dates wrapping up on August 19, 2027. Both parks operate from 9:30 PM to 12:30 AM. Ticket prices scale from $159 to $199 at Hollywood Studios and $159 to $189 at EPCOT. EPCOT experiences a sharper contraction of four dates to reflect softer off-season demand after schools return. Both parks offer a $30 per ticket discount exclusively for Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members.
Perks and Operational Exclusions
All event admissions include unlimited complimentary snacks. Guests enjoy ice cream novelties, popcorn, and bottled beverages throughout the night. Disney’s Animal Kingdom remains entirely excluded from the 2027 After Hours lineup. These ticketed events operate completely independently of complimentary Extended Evening Hours. Eligible resort guests continue receiving those perks throughout the year. Planning your late-night park strategy ahead of time ensures maximum value from low crowds and complimentary treats.
