If your ideal Disney day starts when everybody else is getting tired, there is a date to put on your calendar: September 22, 2026.
That is when 2027 Disney After Hours tickets open to the general public. Guests at eligible Disney-area hotels already have an early purchase window for event nights during their stay.
What does Disney After Hours cost in 2027?
The three parks have different prices and hours. Here is the comparison from Disney’s current event information. Prices below are per ticket, before tax, and vary by date.
| Park | 2027 ticket range | Usual event hours |
|---|---|---|
| Magic Kingdom | $189–$209 | 10 p.m.–1 a.m. |
| Hollywood Studios | $159–$199 | 9:30 p.m.–12:30 a.m. |
| EPCOT | $159–$189 | 9:30 p.m.–12:30 a.m. |
One exception: Hollywood Studios runs 10:30 p.m.–1:30 a.m. on April 24, 2027. Event tickets allow entry starting at 7 p.m. Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members can save $30 per ticket at Hollywood Studios and EPCOT.
Which dates are on the calendar?
Disney’s September 10 announcement lists selected nights from January 11 through July 19 at Magic Kingdom, January 16 through August 25 at Hollywood Studios, and January 21 through August 19 at EPCOT. These are date ranges, not nightly events; check the exact calendar before choosing a trip.
Included refreshments are ice cream novelties, popcorn and selected bottled drinks. Attraction highlights include TRON at Magic Kingdom, Rise of the Resistance at Hollywood Studios and Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT. Offerings can change.
The part to check before buying
This is a separately ticketed event, not a perk automatically included with regular park admission. Disney says tickets are limited, and admission does not guarantee access to an attraction.
My planning takeaway: compare the rides you care about and the late finish against the price, rather than treating the included popcorn as the whole sales pitch. A night that ends after midnight should fit your group—not just look good on a vacation spreadsheet.
If your plans include spring EPCOT visits, keep the 2027 Flower & Garden Festival dates handy too. That is a separate planning question from buying an After Hours ticket.
