Disney World Rolls Out After 2 PM Summer Tickets for 2026

Analysts say the half-day offer signals a push to manage summer demand.

Overview

  • Disney World began selling the new tickets Wednesday, with online purchase available for park days between May 26 and July 29.
  • The offer lets guests enter one park per day only after 2 p.m., comes in 2‑day and 3‑day versions, requires no park reservations, and must be used within 4 or 5 days of the chosen start date.
  • Prices vary by date, dropping to about $116–$118 per day in late July and peaking near the July 4 holiday at roughly $154–$158 per day.
  • The ticket excludes Early Theme Park Entry and invalidates Lightning Lane, dining, and Mobile Order bookings scheduled before 2 p.m., and entry remains subject to capacity limits.
  • Industry coverage frames the launch as a targeted pricing tool that could shift more visitors to afternoons and evenings as Disney fine-tunes attendance and revenue for the summer.
