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.

RememberWhen27 days ago

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.

Bullseye196727 days ago

There is more to do at HS.

MisterPenguin27 days ago

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 Angus27 days ago

Overly so.

Chi8427 days ago

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

Colonel Angus27 days ago

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

Ayla27 days ago

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.

bmr159127 days ago

MK includes Enchantment fireworks show from the 50th. There’s also a lot more rides, but I the quality of rides depends on your preferences.

Colonel Angus27 days ago

I get what you’re saying and I also don’t really care. I’m going to one of these while on my vacation so I am hoping to get some input from other folks who’ve attended so I can narrow it down for my own personal decision. Thanks for your contribution. It’s noted.

Sirwalterraleigh27 days ago

I’m ok… I just don’t have a switch that cuts off the fact based stuff 🫣

Colonel Angus27 days ago

Well, I’d like to go to one of them. Just trying to decide which one to go to. Apologies for using triggering language for you. I hope you recover.

Sirwalterraleigh27 days ago

No…worth it? Never It’s more for half the time…crowds are almost always lighter in the park prior than during these things… Are you serious?

Colonel Angus27 days ago

Last trip I did the MK after-hours event. This next trip, I will be there during one for HS and one for Epcot. Which park is the better park for after-hours and is worth the $190?
