Disney World’s After Hours Events are separately ticketed events that allow guests to enjoy beloved attractions with lower wait times for an extra three hours after the park closes to the public, with some complimentary snacks and drinks included. Plus, guests can enter the park at 7 PM, giving them a few extra hours in the park before the event even begins!
EPCOT After Hours
If that all sounds like your ideal day at a Disney park in 2026, you’ll need to act FAST, as dates for the year are running out!
Currently, only EPCOT and Hollywood Studios have After Hours Events scheduled for the rest of 2026 as far as the resort’s primary theme parks go, as the Magic Kingdom’s final offering of the year took place in late July.
