We aren’t ashamed to admit that this freebie is one of our FAVORITE things about Disney After Hours at EPCOT!

EPCOT

Want to enjoy attractions, entertainment, character greetings, and select free snacks and drinks for three hours, all with minimal crowds? Then the Disney After Hours events might be the perfect vacation upgrade for you! These separately ticketed events are scheduled on select nights at Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT. The events offer similar features at each of the parks, but there’s a hidden gem at EPCOT’s After Hours that we absolutely CAN’T miss!

Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

The Disney After Hours events kick off after the park has closed to regular day guests, so those with After Hours tickets can enjoy access to select park attractions with limited wait times, including headliner attractions like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind!

Other entertainment and character meet-and-greets are sprinkled throughout the park as well, so there are plenty of ways to stay busy during the event’s three hours.

On top of all of the attractions and entertainment, After Hours guests can also snag select ice cream novelties, popcorn, and drinks included with the cost of admission. The selection of free snacks and drinks is pretty similar between each of the After Hours parks, but there’s a unique treat in EPCOT that has us skipping alllll the other freebies!

In the Canada Pavilion of the World Showcase, there is a snack stand that offers free Maple Popcorn along with the standard bottled beverages!

Maple Popcorn!

We’re seriously OBSESSED with the Maple Popcorn, which is also available to purchase during the day at the Canada Popcorn Cart. It’s the perfect sweet-and-salty snack with prominent maple syrup flavor that’s balanced nicely by the standard salty popcorn. If you enjoy sweet-and-salty popcorn treats like kettle corn, this one is definitely worth grabbing — especially if you’re there for After Hours and can get it for free!

Of course, it’s nice to have some other free snack options as well, but we’re such big fans of the Maple Popcorn that we figure we might as well skip all the other treats and fill up on this quintessential EPCOT snack instead. If you find yourself at EPCOT After Hours, swing by the Canada Pavilion for your free Maple Popcorn and let us know your thoughts!
