Ever wanted to go inside a Disney World theme park after it’s CLOSED?! That’s exactly what it’s like to be at Disney World’s After Hours events!

At these events, you get to check out the park’s rides, attractions, and character meet-and-greets with much fewer people around and lower wait times. But that’s not all — You also get some FREEBIES included with your event ticket!
We’re at the FIRST 2024 EPCOT After Hours event tonight, and we’re taking you with us to check everything out. We’ve been enjoying the low crowds and walking onto some of our favorite rides with hardly a line at all. Now we’re hungry, though, so let’s go grab a FREE snack!
Free Snacks
Some treats and snacks are included with your After Hours ticket, so you can grab as many as you’d like during the event! You can snag ice cream treats like the iconic Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar or an Ice Cream Sandwich…
FREE ICE CREAM!
…grab some popcorn…
Look at all that FREE popcorn!
…and also get a bottled beverage, like soda.
Sprite
These free snacks are available throughout the park, like at the Mission: SPACE Cart, the Imagination Cart, the Connections Cart, and the Fountain Popcorn Cart. Check your event guide for a full list of locations.

Dates and Prices
The EPCOT After Hours events in 2024 take place from 10PM to 1AM. However, with your ticket, you can get in as early as 7PM! That gives you more time to check out the normal day offerings in EPCOT. Be sure to grab something to eat early — most restaurants will not remain open during the After Hours events, and festival food booths usually don’t stay open, either.
