Disney has officially announced its 2026 schedule for After Hours events at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. These separately ticketed experiences offer guests access to select attractions during three hours after park closing with significantly reduced crowds. The events allow entry as early as 7 p.m., making them feel more like half-day tickets than late-night options. Popular attractions include TRON Lightcycle Run at Magic Kingdom, Star Wars Rise of the Resistance at Hollywood Studios, and Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT. While complimentary snacks are included, the primary value lies in riding multiple attractions without long wait times. Resort hotel guests can combine water park visits with After Hours events for a packed first day. The 2026 schedule features 18 Magic Kingdom events, 25 Hollywood Studios events, and 18 EPCOT events from January through September. Popular dates often sell out weeks or months in advance during peak travel seasons.
