I tried searching, but didn't see exactly what I'm looking for. Found out that on two of our park evenings, there will be After Hours in that park. Since there's an overlap between the AH kids arriving and us still being there, would it make sense to swap those two days, all other things being equal? Or will the newly arriving AH crowd not affect things that much?

Is there a good source of info for Cosmic Rewind wait time during the EPCOT after hours events? Will it be displayed on MDE if I can remember to check it on the relevant nights?

The stage shows typically stop around 7pm(ish), which is when the “mix-in” begins. Be sure to check the calendar for the day you plan on going.

Are any shows included at Hollywood Studios After Hours, or is it just the rides?

The Hollywood Studios After Hours event on May 28 has sold out.

I have been to sold-out Halloween and Christmas parties while also having attended a sold-out After Hours. The crowds at the parties were much larger. Wait times were reduced but not by that much and the firework shows were still packed. The after hour events were much better but the focus is more on enjoying rides than on the party. Mine Train and Tron were 25 minute waits and most other rides were walk-ons.

I attended the MK event last night, the rain held off in the end. It was really cool to see enchantment again, it was absolutely dead in the hub while it was on, it was actually the main reason we booked it.

The EPCOT After Hours event on May 29 is now sold out.

I'll be in MK on 5/12. I briefly thought about it but then banished the thought as I'll be in DLR later in the week. Besides, the weather forecast isn't looking good for Monday. No wonder 5/12 is the last available.
