Disney4me Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 Disney After Hours events are BACK in EPCOT! But there’s something major you need to keep in mind before planning your dream night in the park! Spaceship Earth Disney After Hours are specially ticketed events that allow guests to enjoy the parks with limited capacity after they close to regular day guests. The events include access to select attractions with lower wait times thanks to the limited number of guests, plus free snacks and drinks, and, of course, the thrill of being in a nearly empty park. But before you start planning out your own EPCOT After Hours visit, we’ve got an important reminder! The 2025 EPCOT After Hours events kicked off on February 27th, with more events scheduled for select dates through September 25th, 2025. We headed out to the first EPCOT After Hours of the year to check it out! EPCOT After Hours Just like in past years, the free snacks included with admission were Mickey Premium ice cream sandwiches, strawberry bars, bottled sodas, buttered popcorn, and, our personal favorite, maple popcorn in Canada! Canada Popcorn Cart Plus, there were some super low wait times for the rides that were open. We rode Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind a few times with about a 25-minute wait early in the event, and a walk-on to the pre-show by 10:50 PM! Plus, there was other entertainment available, like a DJ and character meet-and-greets. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind So, with all of those pros, what’s the catch?? Just like at previous EPCOT After Hours events, the World Showcase was partially closed during this event — you can’t go past Norway or France, so all of the pavilions from China through Morocco are inaccessible. Heads Up that World Showcase Partially Closes During After Hours! If you’re mainly interested in enjoying the rides, snacks, and entertainment, this may not be a big deal for you. But if you had your heart set on snapping lots of World Showcase pictures with no crowds and exploring the pavilions while they’re nearly empty, beware that SIX World Showcase Pavilions (China, Germany, Italy, The American Adventure, Japan, and Morocco) are closed during After Hours!
