I was looking as well and don't see it publicly posted anywhere but used AI to come up with the best timing to buy them with availability but also, the least amount of risk possible since they are non-refundable. Not sure what dates you're looking for but for the two dates we are looking for in July, this is what I was able to find and to to date, have not found anything to refute it's "accuracy".
It helped me devise my strategy to buy HS in early May and Epcot in early June to help spread out the cost over two months.
Sell‑Out Behavior Based on 2026 Patterns
Hollywood Studios After Hours (July 22, 2026)
HS is the most popular After Hours event in summer because of Rise, Slinky, and Tower.
2026 dates run through September 12, and mid‑summer dates historically sell out 2–6 weeks in advance.
July is peak travel season → higher sell‑out risk.
Likelihood of sell‑out:HighTypical sell‑out window:Late May to early July
EPCOT After Hours (July 23, 2026)
EPCOT AH is popular but less intense than HS.
Cosmic Rewind drives demand, but EPCOT’s huge capacity means slower sell‑outs.
Historically sells out 1–3 weeks before the event.
Likelihood of sell‑out:ModerateTypical sell‑out window:Early to mid‑July
Agreed. For our summer trip, we're opting for a one day ticket and three after hour tickets as opposed to park tickets. By the time I add on LLs and multi pass I am close enough to a AH ticket anyway and would rather experience the park with lower crowds in cooler weather.
