Disney After Hours dates expanded, EPCOT added

Additional dates and even a new theme park is being added to the the Disney After Hours events, the specially ticketed experiences that take place after a theme park closes at Walt Disney World.

EPCOT has been added to the theme park rotation giving people who pay of the extra fee for three hours after the gates close and get access to top attractions, like Frozen Ever After, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure.

Disney After Hours extends access to attractions. Since the the number of tickets for these events is limited, there will be lower wait times. In addition there will be special character interactions and free snacks such as ice cream novelties, popcorn, and select beverages.

The event ticket allows early entry into the park beginning at 6 p.m. at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park and 7 p.m. at EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

In addition, Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park will reopen this spring and along with H2O Glow After Hours. With its vibrant decor, a specially themed menu of snacks and treats throughout the park and your favorite watery attractions under the stars, the popular after-hours party is a “must-do” with friends and family this summer.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios, one of the most popular Disney After Hours experiences, is adding more dates for you to take control of the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, ride through a cartoon adventure in Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, play like one of Andy’s favorite toys in Toy Story Land and more. 

These fan-favorite experiences are scheduled to kick off May 20 at Typhoon Lagoon and June 1 at EPCOT. They join Magic Kingdom Park, running through March 27, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, currently running with additional dates being added beginning May 3.
