After Hours events in Disney World are super popular because they allow access to the parks without the crowds, the sun, or the ride lines.
Disney has holiday-themed after-hours parties like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. However, there are also park-specific events that happen throughout the year. If you’ve been hoping to attend EPCOT’s after-hours events, you need to book these tickets ASAP!
EPCOT’s After Hours events are happening on select nights through August 24th, and two of these dates are already sold out.
While the 17th and 24th still have availability, we learned from our friend Sue at Small World Vacations that these last two dates are 80% sold out right now, meaning these last few tickets will go FAST.
If you’re looking to experience lots of what EPCOT has to offer with as little stress and crowds as possible, grabbing an after-hours ticket instead of a regular park ticket for one of these two dates may be a great plan. Not only do you get to ride your favorite attractions with little to no waits, you can also get free snacks and soft drinks, visit with characters, and so much more.
