Hi Jennifer,
Thank you for visiting planDisney! I am imagining myself at the
Disney After Hours at EPCOT event now, more time staring at the lights on Spaceship Earth, lower wait times for my favorite attractions like Cosmic Rewind and Soarin’, and numerous stops to pick up the popcorn and ice cream included in my ticket!
All After Hours offerings are subject to change, but I found some information about the experiences and shops open during the 2025 event, which I’ll share with you. Creations Shop remained open for shopping all night, but from what I could find, most of the World Showcase shops are closed for the event.
Moana: Journey of Water is not currently listed as an
available attraction on the After Hours page, but in the past, it has remained open during After Hours events. As noted on the website, attractions and experiences are subject to change without notice. I would recommend that you grab an event guide once you enter the park for After Hours to see what is available for your date.
As I mentioned, ice cream novelties, popcorn, and select bottled beverages are included with your ticket. A Cast Member told me that a few quick-service locations may be open for other food purchases, but she couldn’t confirm which locations for the 2026 event. I do want to mention that
you can enter EPCOT with your After Hours ticket as early as 7:00 PM on your event date, so if you arrive around 7:00 PM you may have time to visit Les Halles and other World Showcase shops or restaurants before they close for the evening!
I’m sorry I couldn’t share more at this time, Jennifer! In my opinion, I think arriving around 7:00 PM is the best way to visit World Showcase and do a little shopping and snacking before you focus on attractions during the actual After Hours event! If you have any more questions, we’d love to help you again at
planDisney.
