When Tickets Go On Sale
Guests with resort hotel reservations
September 10, 2026
General public
September 22, 2026
Ticket access opens in two waves. Guests staying at select Walt Disney World Resort hotels, the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels, and Shades of Green can buy tickets now. Everyone else can purchase starting September 22, 2026.
Because capacity is limited and popular dates tend to move fast, booking early is the safer bet. If a specific date or park is central to your trip, lock it in as soon as your window opens.
What Disney After Hours Includes
Disney After Hours is a separately ticketed event held at select parks after regular closing. Attendance is capped, so wait times drop and you can move through the park at a relaxed pace.
Admission comes with a few extras worth noting. You get complimentary snacks and select bottled beverages throughout the event. You can also enter the park a few hours before the official start time, which stretches your evening and gives you more time to enjoy the attractions.
Final Thoughts
The 2027 After Hours events give you a calmer, later-night way to experience some of the most in-demand rides at Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT, with snacks and early entry rolled into the price.
With dates spread from January through August and tickets already available to eligible resort guests, now is the time to map out which night fits your trip. Mark September 22 on your calendar if you are buying as a general guest, and plan ahead to make the most of the shorter lines.
