    Can a dvc owner buy after hours tickets for friends without attending the event themselves

    Welcome Home and welcome to planDisney, Kim! It's always the best day ever when a fellow Disney Vacation Club Member pays us a visit, and I'm here to supply the information you need as you're planning your next trip across the pond to Walt Disney World Resort

    Disney After Hours is, in my opinion, one of the best ways to wrap up a Disney day!  Guests who purchase tickets to one of the After Hours events enjoy three full hours in one of the Disney theme parks or water parks with access to select attractions, Character experiences, and some complimentary snacks and beverages. You're also usually able to enter the designated park a few hours before the After Hours start time (though this can vary between events) to get a head start on the fun!

    Currently, DVC Members who are eligible for Membership Extras may purchase tickets for a discounted rate of up to $30 per ticket, subject to availability. Although I love that you want to share some DVC love with your pals, unfortunately you will not be able to buy After Hours tickets for them unless you are also coming to the event. Someone who is listed on your DVC Membership as a purchaser must be in attendance at the event check-in. Be sure to check the schedule for the remaining 2026 After Hours events, which will be going on into September at EPCOT, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park.

    Kim, fall at Walt Disney World is one of my favorite times to visit - you're sure to have a blast enjoying the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival and experiencing a spooky good time at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. The decorations and seasonal snacks and merch around the parks are so much fun, and the weather is generally cooler and really pleasant (but don't sleep on that Florida sun - wear your sunscreen!). 

    Wishing you a magically good time whenever you return "Home" to The Most Magical Place on Earth!  Thanks so much for visiting planDisney, and please don't hesitate to come see us again if we can help with other questions to make your next Disney adventure a practically perfect one. 

    Stay Magical!
