Disney After Hours nighttime events provide access to Walt Disney World theme parks after they close to the general public for the day. Known for mostly low wait times for popular rides and unlimited snacks, Disney After Hours is a nice way to escape the crowds and not fuss with Lightning Lane reservations. By nature of their limited capacity, event nights sometimes sell out.
Disney After Hours has sold out several nights this year, with another future date just selling out. We have details on which dates are still available for all eligible parks. Mickey Visit brings you the latest Disney news and planning resources, including a mini water park coming to a new Disney World hotel and new EPCOT concerts.

Disney After Hours Date Sells Out at Magic Kingdom
Magic Kingdom is one of the parks we recommend for Disney After Hours, especially since the event includes the Disney Enchantment fireworks show, which debuted during Disney World’s 50th anniversary and is now exclusively performed during Disney After Hours.

Disney After Hours is now sold out for its June 22, 2026, date at Magic Kingdom. This makes sense with its proximity to Juneteenth and Father’s Day, as many families may be taking a long weekend Disney trip for those holidays.
Earlier this year, Disney After Hours at Magic Kingdom sold out for its January 12, March 9, May 18, and May 25 dates, according to WDWNT.

Magic Kingdom is the priciest of the participating Disney After Hours parks, with event tickets ranging from $155 to $199, depending on the date. The actual event takes place from 10 PM to 1 AM, the three hours immediately following park closing, but After Hours guests can enter Magic Kingdom as early as 7 PM without a daytime ticket.
After the sold-out June 22 event, Disney After Hours will take place at Magic Kingdom on the following dates, which still have ticket availability:
- June 29, 2026
- July 13 and 27, 2026
Starting in August, Magic Kingdom will switch gears for the remainder of the year, foregoing additional Disney After Hours dates in favor of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
