Epcot After Hours: Where Maple Popcorn Reigns Supreme

Disney's EPCOT After Hours events offer exclusive experiences for guests who want to enjoy attractions, entertainment, and character meet-and-greets without the crowds. These separately ticketed events are scheduled on select nights at Magic Kingdom, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT. The events kick off after the park has closed to regular day guests, allowing After Hours ticket holders to access select park attractions with limited wait times.

One of the highlights of EPCOT's After Hours is the free Maple Popcorn available at the Canada Pavilion in the World Showcase. This sweet-and-salty snack is a unique treat that even the authors of Disney Food Blog can't resist, and they recommend skipping other freebies to fill up on it instead.

The Maple Popcorn is also available for purchase during regular park hours at the Canada Popcorn Cart, but getting it for free during After Hours is a bonus. EPCOT's After Hours events offer a unique opportunity to enjoy the park in a more relaxed atmosphere, and with perks like this, they're definitely worth considering.
