It’s official, another Disney park is getting a 2023 after-hours event!

Spaceship Earth

Disney has had after-hours events for Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios so far this year, and now it’s been announced that EPCOT will be getting after-hours events this year as well. Here’s everything you can experience during this special late-night event!

Attractions

During the event, you can ride most of your favorite EPCOT rides with much lower wait times! Attractions you may be able to experience (as this list is subject to change) include the following:

• Frozen Ever After
• Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros
• Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
• Living with the Land Presented by Chiquita®
• Mission: SPACE
• Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure
• The Seas with Nemo & Friends
• Soarin’ Around the World
• Spaceship Earth
• Test Track Presented by Chevrolet®

Cosmic Rewind

This means that you can ride Cosmic Rewind WITHOUT buying an Individual Lightning Lane or getting a spot in the virtual queue. You can also ride it as many times as you want!

Snacks

No after-hours event is complete without snacks! You’ll be able to dine on all the ice cream novelties (like Mickey Premium Bars), popcorn, and select bottled beverages you want for FREE — it’s all included with your ticket price.

Nothing like a good ‘ol Mickey Premium Bar!

Select dining locations will also be open late to serve heartier meals as well, but we recommend entering the park early at 7PM to eat before the event fully begins, as many restaurants will be closed later on.

Characters

You’ll also get to meet special characters during EPCOT’s after-hours events!

We don’t have a list of characters that will host meet and greets at this event just yet, but when we head to check it out, we’ll be sure to tell you all about it.

You could avoid ALL of these crowds!

While the event itself doesn’t start until 10PM, ticketholders can enter the park as early as 7PM to get a headstart on the fun. Remember too that this is a separately ticketed event, so you’ll need to buy an after-hours ticket separate from a normal Disney World ticket. As always, stay tuned to DFB for all the latest Disney news!
