2027 Disney After Hours Dates Announced for Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, EPCOT

2027 Disney After Hours Dates Announced for Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, EPCOT

September 10, 2026

Written by Greg Gately

Disney has confirmed 2027 Disney After Hours dates for Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT, with tickets going on sale today, September 10, for guests staying at select Walt Disney World resorts, the Swan and Dolphin, and Shades of Green. Everyone else can buy starting September 22.

Every After Hours event lets ticket holders enter the park as early as 7 p.m., well before the event officially starts, and includes select complimentary snacks like ice cream novelties, popcorn, and bottled drinks at carts scattered around the park. We covered last year’s After Hours announcement when 2026 dates and ticket windows were confirmed, and this year’s rollout follows the same basic structure across all three parks.

2027 Disney After Hours Dates Announced for Magic Kingdom Hollywood Studios EPCOT

Magic Kingdom After Hours

Magic Kingdom After Hours runs 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. on each event night, and guests with a ticket don’t need a separate park reservation to enter before the event begins. Attractions running with lower waits include TRON Lightcycle / Run, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan’s Flight, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin, among others.

2027 Magic Kingdom After Hours dates: January 11, January 18, February 1, February 8, February 15, February 22, March 4, March 8, March 15, April 5, April 12, April 26, May 17, May 24, June 14, June 21, June 28, July 15, and July 19.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios After Hours

Hollywood Studios After Hours runs 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. on select nights through August 25, 2027. Rides available with shorter waits include Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, Slinky Dog Dash, Alien Swirling Saucers, Toy Story Mania!, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets. Characters also roam the streets throughout the night for surprise encounters. Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members can save $30 per ticket when logged into their Disney account.

2027 Hollywood Studios After Hours dates: January 16, January 27, February 13, February 24, March 13, March 17, March 24, April 7, April 24, April 28, May 19, May 26, June 2, June 9, June 16, June 23, June 30, July 5, July 12, July 26, August 4, and August 25.

EPCOT After Hours

EPCOT After Hours runs 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. on select evenings through August 19, 2027, giving ticket holders a full five and a half hours in the park from the 7 p.m. early entry window. Attractions include Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, Test Track presented by General Motors, Frozen Ever After, Soarin’ Across America, Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros, Living with the Land, Mission: SPACE, The Seas with Nemo & Friends, and Spaceship Earth. The same $30 Annual Passholder and DVC discount applies here too.

2027 EPCOT After Hours dates: January 21, February 18, April 1, April 15, April 22, May 6, May 13, June 3, June 12, July 8, July 22, July 29, August 7, August 12, and August 19.

EPCOT gets the fewest dates of the three parks at 15, compared to 19 at Magic Kingdom and 22 at Hollywood Studios. That gap has held steady year over year, and it likely comes down to EPCOT’s layout working less naturally for a low-crowd nighttime event than Magic Kingdom’s, where thinning out the crowds around the hub and castle makes a much more obvious difference.
