Disney After Hours Returns to Three Parks in 2027

Published September 22, 2026

Disney has released its 2027 Disney After Hours schedule for Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and EPCOT, and tickets are now on sale to all guests after an earlier buying window for Disney Resort hotel guests and several other eligible hotels. The separately ticketed events add three hours inside a participating park after it closes to regular day guests.

As of Tuesday, September 22, 2026, this is what has been released for the 2027 event season; dates, times and prices can change, so confirm before you buy.

At Magic Kingdom, the event runs 10 p.m. to 1 a.m., with ticketed guests allowed into the park starting at 7 p.m. Tickets are priced from $189 to $209, plus tax.

Hollywood Studios events run 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. on most 2027 dates, with one exception on April 24, when the event shifts to 10:30 p.m. through 1:30 a.m. Tickets there run $159 to $199, plus tax.

EPCOT follows the same 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. format, priced from $159 to $189, plus tax. Disney markets all three around shorter waits and smaller crowds, and the Magic Kingdom attraction lineup reportedly includes TRON Lightcycle / Run.

Those start times line up with the closing times guests have been seeing lately. Magic Kingdom has increasingly settled near a 10 p.m. close on many nights, with some 11 p.m. dates on the calendar, while EPCOT and Hollywood Studios have frequently landed around 9 p.m. or 9:30 p.m. Reports frame the continued After Hours slate as a sign Disney has little reason to push regular hours back toward the 11 p.m. and midnight closings that were once routine on a standard ticket.

What we know

• Magic Kingdom — After Hours 10 p.m.–1 a.m.; ticketed entry from 7 p.m.; $189–$209 plus tax
• Disney’s Hollywood Studios — 9:30 p.m.–12:30 a.m. most dates; $159–$199 plus tax
• Hollywood Studios, April 24 — event shifted to 10:30 p.m.–1:30 a.m.
• EPCOT — 9:30 p.m.–12:30 a.m.; $159–$189 plus tax
• Tickets — advance window for Disney Resort hotel guests and other eligible hotels has passed; sales now open to everyone

What’s not confirmed

Disney has not announced any change to regular park operating hours for 2027, and the read that After Hours discourages later standard closings is analysis, not a Disney statement. The full 2027 event date calendar, the complete attraction lineups beyond TRON Lightcycle / Run at Magic Kingdom, and which specific nights carry which prices were not detailed in the coverage available. Disney has also not confirmed whether the April 24 Hollywood Studios shift reflects a wider schedule change.

What our data shows

• SupaPark’s forecast model puts TRON Lightcycle / Run’s typical predicted wait around 57 minutes across the day (checked 2026-09-22).
• Measured average wait over the last 7 tracked days: about 54 minutes.

What it means for your trip

• Price your night honestly: at $159–$209 plus tax per person, After Hours is worth it when the low waits let you clear several headliners fast — not as a general “more park time” purchase.
• The 7 p.m. Magic Kingdom entry is the real value. You get roughly three hours of regular park time before the event clock even starts.
• Don’t bank on regular closings creeping later. Build evening plans around a 10 p.m. Magic Kingdom close and a 9–9:30 p.m. EPCOT or Hollywood Studios close unless the calendar says otherwise.
• If you’re skipping the event, your cheaper alternative is the last hour of regular operating time, when waits often soften as families with young kids head out — a live wait alert is the easiest way to catch that dip in real time.
• Book dining around it: an event night means a late park exit, so aim earlier for table service rather than squeezing a 9 p.m. reservation in.
