Overview
- WDWMAGIC reported that the May 25 Magic Kingdom After Hours event has sold out, becoming the fourth Magic Kingdom date to reach capacity this season.
- The May 25 ticket is listed at $199 per person, which is the top end of the Magic Kingdom After Hours price range for 2026; remaining Magic Kingdom dates are priced on a tier from $175 to $199.
- After Hours is a separately ticketed, limited-capacity offering that allows entry beginning in the evening, runs late-night hours without needing a separate park reservation, and includes free ice cream, popcorn, bottled drinks and surprise character meet-and-greets.
- The events give late-night access to headline rides such as TRON Lightcycle/Run, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Space Mountain, delivering short waits for high-demand attractions as part of the package.
- Repeated sellouts underscore consumer willingness to pay premiums for lower crowds and special access, a trend that could drive more paid, limited-capacity events across Disney parks and affect how guests plan summer visits.
