We did July 28, 2018 at MK. I am hoping they announce another set of dates soon. It was such a great experience. I'm not sure I would do DHS as I didn't love the park last year when we went, maybe without the massive crowds it would be better. Definitely would do MK again. And likely just a 1 day at Epcot on a night with extended hours for Deluxe Resort guests. Book a room at Swan/Dolphin just for the access.

I said the same thing last year, but I think Villains After Hours will return.

10 yrs ago the after hours this was TOTALLY FREE WITH YOUR STAY AT A DISNEY RESORT. Now they are making you pay for it? If it’s like it was then it’s not worth the money. Only a hand full on rides are open and yes you have to wait in line for awhile too.

It’s definitely not the same as extra magic hours. Almost all attractions are open, with very little wait. Also includes “free” snacks, like popcorn, ice cream, soda, etc. And no one is making you pay for it

And offsite guests can book too, which is great for solo travelers since it can make more financial sense than staying onsite for things like early entry or extended evening hours.

AND it doesn't have an impact on regular park hours like the Halloween/Christmas parties do. I'm a huge fan of After Hours! Wish they would bring them back to AK!
EPCOT will have a new After Hours event beginning June 1st. Additional dates for After Hours at Hollywood Studio are also being added.

This is your chance to explore all four neighborhoods in the park with shorter attraction wait times. Be sure to snap a few photos with your favorite Disney characters and munch on some of your favorite Disney snacks. Delight in ice cream novelties, popcorn and select beverages—all included in the cost of this ticketed event—available at carts throughout the park."
H20 Glow After Hours at Typhoon Lagoon also returns, beginning May 20th.

This is so exciting. I was really hoping they would announce summer dates for MK though. Looks like they don't plan to at this point.

Adding summer dates for MK would be a mistake in my opinion

Why? They have run it in the past during the summer?

I personally would rather see extended hours for everyone, a midnight - 1am close for MK for the busy summer months. I forgot that they ran this in previous summers

Epcot is an interesting one, I'd be curious to see how they sell. 7PM to 1AM is 6 hours at what some would call a half day park, but wonder if all of World Showcase will be open or just the pavilions with attractions (Norway, Mexico & France).

Probably just Norway Mexico and France. That’s what they did for cast members Earidescent Evenings over the summer
