The Magic Kingdom After Hours event tonight is now showing as sold out.

Yes. The distance between attractions alone makes Epcot a tough sell for this.

I went with HS. I'll let you know in about a month if it was truly as worthless as that fellow said.

I’m sorry, I misread and thought you were asking between MK and HS. I’d choose HS personally. Most of your time at Epcot will be walking from ride to ride. Guardians will be a long line because a ton of people camp there all night (from my experience). Plus, no food booths are open.

As much as I love Epcot, I would say after hours is more worthwhile at DHS. It’s what I would pick. Though repeat rides on guardians would be awesome.

There is more to do at HS.

After Hours is all about riding the rides you really like and riding them over and over again. Do you want to do non-stop RotR or GotG? Perhaps 10 trips on Frozen Ever After? Before the Pandemic when Pandora was new-ish, I rode FoP 17 times in a row.

Colonel AngusOct 18, 2025

Overly so.

What?! Don’t go, Disney sucks, everything costs too much isn’t helpful to you?

Colonel AngusOct 18, 2025

I did MK last year. Between HS/EP. Good to know re: World Showcase, thank you.

AylaOct 18, 2025

If you're considering both MK and EP, I think I remember reading that most of World Showcase is closed during the After Hours Event, if that matters to you.
