Disney is once again offering their “Disney After Hours” special-ticketed events at Walt Disney World in 2026. The prices are what you would pay for a regular park ticket, but you get to enter the theme park early and stay late with “lower crowds” and other perks like free snacks and character meet and greets.
Three parks will be available for these events including the Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Tickets are on sale now for Guests of Disney Resort hotels, the Swan and Dolphin Hotels, and Shades of Green, with a resort reservation booked on the same date as the Disney After Hours event you wish to attend. The general public can purchase tickets starting on October 14.
Now we have a list of dates and pricing for the events.
