Do you enjoy hanging out in the Disney World parks after hours?
Disney offers special After Hours events on select nights at select parks. The normal After Hours events are open to everyone; you just need a specially priced ticket. They include shorter wait times for rides, complimentary snacks, and fun entertainment. This year’s After Hours events in EPCOT over over, but did you know there is a SECRET after-hours event happening in November at EPCOT?
The 2024 Food & Wine Festival begins soon! The Global Marketplace food booths will open on August 29th and run through November 23rd. Along with this annual fall festival is the Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend, which invites you to run through the Disney World Resort.
There are four races ongoing throughout the weekend of the Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend, but they are currently all sold out. However, there is one event over the weekend of November 1st through the 3rd that is NOT sold out and it involves visiting EPCOT after hours!
The Post-Race Party takes place in EPCOT on November 3rd, 2024 at 10:00PM, but ticket holders can get into EPCOT as early as 5PM! This party, for friends and family, offers extra time in the park with access to the Food & Wine Festival Global Marketplaces, lower wait times for EPCOT attractions, and even live entertainment.
Typically, EPCOT After Hours tickets cost $149+, but a Post-Race Party ticket is only $110! Registration for the party began on March 12th, but there are still tickets available. This year, not only does the part celebrate the racers, but also 15 years of the Wine & Dine race weekend. It’s a fun time to celebrate!
You can head to the runDisney website now to register for this after-hours party event in EPCOT. There is limited availability, so if you’re interested in participating in the party, grab your tickets sooner rather than later. Race weekends are a blast if you’re participating, and this is a great way to do just that. Tickets for the Post-Race Party are included in the runners’ Half Marathon or Challenge registration.
If you’ll be in Disney World before August 29th and want to visit a park after hours, the Hollywood Studios After Hours events are still going on on select nights! Tickets are still available for these events, so head to Disney’s website to grab yours.
