Disney World is set to have an EXCITING year!
EPCOT
We’re starting out strong with the grand opening of TRON Lightcycle / Run and Roundup Rodeo BBQ this spring, and then we’ve got the completion of the EPCOT transformation before the end of the year. There’s plenty to look forward to — and now we’re adding a NEW event to that list!
Disney recently announced that After Hours events are coming to EPCOT! While the park has previously offered after-hours access for Deluxe Resort guests (Extended Evening Hours) and DVC members (Moonlight Magic events), this will be the first time that the general public can pay to attend an official Disney After Hours event at the park.
EPCOT at night
The event kicks off on June 1st and runs on select Wednesday and Thursday nights through August 24th. It takes place from 10PM to 1AM on those nights, but guests with an After Hours ticket can enter the park at 7PM. Prices for the event range from $129-$139 for adults (plus tax). But Disney Vacation Club members and Annual Passholders can get specially priced tickets on certain dates.

Sound intriguing? Like something you want to try? If so, then you might want to go ahead and book your hotel for one of those event nights! Tickets will go on sale for all guests starting March 3rd, but guests of select Walt Disney World Resort hotels will get early access starting February 28th. This applies to those staying at Disney Resort hotels, the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels, and Shades of Green.
Wilderness Lodge
If you want to attend the FIRST-ever EPCOT After Hours, then you’ll want to make a reservation for June 1st before February 28th rolls around. We can’t wait to see what it’s like!
