Disney's 2027 After Hours Calendar Runs 56 Nights, and Magic Kingdom Costs $189 to $209 With No Passholder Discount

Disney released the full 2027 Disney After Hours calendar this morning: 56 separately ticketed nights across Magic Kingdom, Disney's Hollywood Studios and EPCOT, running from January 11 to August 25. The announcement lists every single date. It does not name a ticket price anywhere, and it does not need to, because the prices are already published on DisneyWorld.com. The only dollar figure in the announcement is the $30 Passholder and DVC saving.

Disney's own After Hours page carries the 2027 prices, for all three parks:

Magic Kingdom: $189 to $209 per ticket plus tax, varying by date. Nineteen nights, January 11 through July 19, 10:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.

Disney's Hollywood Studios: $159 to $199 plus tax. Twenty two nights, January 16 through August 25, 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.

EPCOT: $159 to $189 plus tax. Fifteen nights, January 21 through August 19, 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.

For comparison, 2026 Magic Kingdom After Hours tickets ran $175 to $199 while that season was on sale, so the entry price is up $14 and the top price up $10. EPCOT's 2026 range, still listed on Disney's page because those events are ongoing, was $155 to $179. Its 2027 floor is $4 higher and its ceiling $10 higher.

The most expensive park is the one with no discount

Disney lists a $30 per ticket saving for Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members, and its page names exactly which events qualify: Hollywood Studios and EPCOT. Magic Kingdom is not on that list.

This is not new. Magic Kingdom After Hours carried no Passholder or DVC discount in 2026 either. It does mean the spread runs wider than the sticker prices suggest. A Passholder buying the cheapest Hollywood Studios night pays $129 before tax. The cheapest Magic Kingdom night costs that same Passholder $189, a $60 difference on two events that each run three hours and include the same complimentary snacks.

EPCOT loses March, and loses nights overall

EPCOT's 2027 calendar has a hole in it. The dates run January 21, February 18, and then jump straight to April 1. There is no March night at all, and EPCOT is the only one of the three parks missing the month. Magic Kingdom gets three March nights and Hollywood Studios gets three.

That matters more than a normal gap because March 10 is when the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival opens. The festival's first three weeks now have no After Hours night attached to them, in the park where a limited capacity ticket is the main way to walk World Showcase without festival crowds.

EPCOT also has fewer nights than it did. Disney's own 2026 listing, still live on the same page, has 19 EPCOT nights against 15 for 2027. Hollywood Studios, whose 2026 dates Disney's page no longer shows, ran 25 nights this year against 22 next year. Magic Kingdom is the only park to grow, at 19 nights against 18.

The seasons also end earlier everywhere. EPCOT After Hours ran to September 24 in 2026 and stops August 19 in 2027, more than a month sooner. Hollywood Studios moves from September 12 to August 25. Magic Kingdom moves from July 27 to July 19.

One night runs on a different clock

One Hollywood Studios night runs on a different clock. On April 24, 2027, the event runs 10:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. rather than the usual 9:30 to 12:30. Every other Hollywood Studios night keeps the standard window. Disney gives no reason, though a later start typically follows a later park close.

All three parks let After Hours ticket holders enter as early as 7:00 p.m., which is the part of the ticket that does the heavy lifting. On a 9:30 p.m. event that is five and a half hours in the park on one event ticket, and six at Magic Kingdom, where the event starts at 10:00.

When you can buy

Guests staying at Disney Resorts Collection hotels, the Walt Disney World Swan, Swan Reserve and Dolphin, and Shades of Green can buy 2027 tickets now, but only for event nights that fall during their stay. Everyone else waits until September 22, 2026. Disney's own ticket page includes the Swan Reserve on that list; this morning's announcement leaves it out.

That 12 day head start is the thing to plan around if a specific date matters to you. Disney's After Hours page currently lists every remaining 2026 Hollywood Studios night as sold out, though that park's first 2026 sellout only came in August, so a season selling through at the end is not the same as dates going fast.

What Disney has not said: which dates sit at the top of each price band. Every park's cost is quoted as a range varying by date, and Disney has published no per night pricing, so the difference between a $189 Magic Kingdom night and a $209 one is only visible once you reach the booking calendar.
