Magic Kingdom After Hours
The Magic Kingdom lineup includes Disney Enchantment and attractions such as TRON Lightcycle / Run, Space Mountain, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, Peter Pan's Flight, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin.
This is the most expensive version of the event. The appeal is simple: late-night Magic Kingdom, included snacks, and a ride list with several headline attractions. If fireworks matter to your group, this is the only 2026 After Hours page that includes Disney Enchantment.
Hollywood Studios After Hours
Most Hollywood Studios nights run from 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. The May 30 event runs from 10:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m., and the Sept. 12 event runs from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.
The attraction list includes Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, Slinky Dog Dash, Toy Story Mania!, Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets.
That lineup makes Hollywood Studios the easiest After Hours pick for guests chasing headliners. Start with the rides that stay difficult during regular hours, then use the middle of the event for repeat rides and snacks.
EPCOT After Hours
EPCOT After Hours runs from 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. The 2026 list includes Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, Frozen Ever After, Test Track, Soarin' Across America, Living with the Land, Mission: SPACE, The Seas with Nemo & Friends, and Spaceship Earth.
The EPCOT version works best for guests who want the big ride trio without spending a whole day bouncing between World Discovery, World Showcase, and World Nature. The park is spread out, so pick a first ride before you enter.
How to Plan the Night
Use the 7 p.m. entry. Eat before the event clock starts, handle restrooms and lockers early, and be at your first real target before regular guests finish leaving the park.
After Hours works best when the group agrees on three priority attractions. Build the night around those, then let snacks, lower-pressure rerides, and shorter walks fill the rest. A long debate at 10 p.m. can waste the quietest part of the ticket.
For water park after-hours planning, use the separate Disney H2O Glow After Hours guide. H2O Glow has different prices, discounts, entry time, weather concerns, and packing needs.
