Disney After Hours at Hollywood Studios is no longer a long summer menu. After the July 29 night, official Disney pages still show only six remaining 2026 event nights, and the last one is September 12.
Travelers who still want a short, limited-capacity night of lower waits should treat those six dates as a closing inventory decision. Ticket prices remain $155 to $189 per person, plus tax, with a $30 savings path for Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members.
- What remains: Six Hollywood Studios After Hours nights after July 29, through September 12, 2026.
- Dates left: August 5, 12, 19, and 26, then September 2 and 12.
- Hours: 9:30 pm to 12:30 am most nights; September 12 runs 10:00 pm to 1:00 am.
- Price band: $155 to $189 per ticket, plus tax; Annual Pass and DVC save $30 when eligible.
- Decision: Buy one remaining night now, or plan only daytime Hollywood Studios admission.
Why this is a six-night problem now
Disney’s official Hollywood Studios After Hours event page still frames the product as select nights from January 14 to September 12, 2026. The practical list after July 29 is much shorter: four August Wednesdays and two September nights.
Most remaining nights run from 9:30 pm to 12:30 am, while September 12 shifts to 10:00 pm to 1:00 am. Guests with an event ticket may enter as early as 7:00 pm without a separate park reservation for that early window.
Disney’s broader After Hours hub makes the park-mix contrast clear. Magic Kingdom 2026 After Hours dates have concluded, while Hollywood Studios still lists nights through September 12 and EPCOT still lists nights through September 24.
Independent tracking from Mickey Visit earlier flagged Magic Kingdom sellouts and kept Hollywood Studios on the remaining-date board for August and September. That specialist snapshot matches the official remaining nights now that July inventory is over.
What the ticket still buys
Hollywood Studios After Hours is a separately ticketed, limited-capacity event. A regular park ticket or Annual Pass does not convert into After Hours entry unless you also buy the event product for that night.
Disney markets three hours of lower waits, selected attractions, character meetings, and included snacks such as ice cream novelties, popcorn, and select bottled drinks. Current headliner highlights on the event page include Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, Slinky Dog Dash, Toy Story Mania!, Alien Swirling Saucers, Tower of Terror, and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway.
Attractions and entertainment can change without notice, and admission does not guarantee every listed experience. Treat the live event page as the authority for what is operating on your chosen night.
The 7:00 pm early entry window is part of the product value. Guests can ride and dine while the park is still open to daytime guests, then continue into the dedicated After Hours block after regular close.
Disney also notes that early arrivals may catch Fantasmic when the outdoor show is running. Confirm the night’s showtime in My Disney Experience because weather can cancel the performance.
How to choose among the six nights
August 5, 12, 19, and 26 are all Wednesday nights on the official calendar. That pattern helps guests who want a midweek hotel night and a cooler evening ride window after hot Florida afternoons.
September 2 and September 12 close the season. September 12 is the only remaining night Disney lists with a later 10:00 pm start and 1:00 am end, so exit plans need more time than the standard 12:30 am nights.
Ticket prices vary by date inside the $155 to $189 band, plus tax. Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members should log into the linked Disney account before purchase so the $30 savings can apply when eligible.
Tickets are limited and may sell out before event day. If a date is not selectable on the official purchase calendar, do not plan dining, transportation, or hotel timing around that night.
Deep Arrival’s Hollywood Studios planning guide is the right place to pair a remaining After Hours night with daytime headliners, Galaxy’s Edge routing, and park logistics. A tighter one-day ride order lives on the Hollywood Studios itinerary.
Who should buy now, and who should skip
This product fits travelers already in Orlando for late summer or early fall who care more about short nighttime lines than about packing every land into daylight. Families with older kids, adults chasing Star Wars and Toy Story re-rides, and passholders using the $30 discount are the clearest fits.
It is a weaker fit for first-time guests who still need a full daytime Hollywood Studios tour, for anyone who cannot stay out past midnight, and for trips that end before August 5. If your travel window misses all six nights, do not force a rebook solely for After Hours inventory.
Magic Kingdom is not a backup After Hours product for 2026. Disney’s Magic Kingdom After Hours page states that all 2026 event dates have concluded, so Hollywood Studios and EPCOT are the remaining theme-park After Hours options on the official hub.
Deep Arrival already mapped the EPCOT side of that remaining inventory in EPCOT After Hours four nights through September 24, and covered the Magic Kingdom closeout in the Magic Kingdom final-night report. Hollywood Studios is the separate remaining-date stream for this park.
If you only want cooler evening weather without a second ticket, check regular Hollywood Studios closing times for your travel dates instead. After Hours is a paid capacity cut, not a free extension of daytime admission.
| If you | What to do |
|---|---|
| Travel any remaining August Wednesday | Buy August 5, 12, 19, or 26 while the purchase calendar still shows available inventory. |
| Travel early or mid September | Target September 2 or 12, and plan a later exit for the September 12 window that ends at 1:00 am. |
| Hold an Annual Pass or DVC membership | Log in first and apply the $30 savings before paying the full event rate. |
| Only wanted Magic Kingdom After Hours | Do not count on 2026 Magic Kingdom inventory. Official copy says those dates have concluded. |
| Need a lower-cost Studios day only | Skip the event ticket and build a daytime park plan instead of forcing a late-night product. |
- Book the night first: Confirm the date is still for sale before locking dining or late transport.
- Arrive by 7:00 pm: Use early entry for rides and Fantasmic when the show is scheduled.
- Budget tax and savings: Price the $155 to $189 band, then subtract $30 if AP or DVC applies.
- Plan the exit: Most nights end at 12:30 am; September 12 ends at 1:00 am.
- Keep a daytime plan: If your date sells out, fall back to regular Hollywood Studios admission and touring.
Resort-wide ticket and park context still sits on Deep Arrival’s Walt Disney World planning guide when you need to compare After Hours nights against multi-day ticket math.
How many Hollywood Studios After Hours nights are left in 2026?

What time does Hollywood Studios After Hours run?
Most remaining nights run 9:30 pm to 12:30 am, and September 12 runs 10:00 pm to 1:00 am. Event ticket holders may enter from 7:00 pm.
How much do the remaining tickets cost?

Do I still need a park reservation for After Hours?
Disney states that event ticket holders may enter from 7:00 pm without a separate park reservation. Arrival before 7:00 pm needs valid theme park admission and may require a reservation.

No for 2026. Disney’s Magic Kingdom After Hours page says all 2026 event dates have concluded, and Hollywood Studios plus EPCOT remain the listed theme-park options on the After Hours hub.
