Avoid park of After Hours Events if not attending?

On our arrival day we planned to visit HS late afternoon/evening, but I just realized it’s an After Hours ticketed event. Does that mean we should change our plans to a different park due to crowd levels? We’d probably be at the park from around 3-8 pm, depending on flight arrival, (with a closing time of 9:30 at HS) but I understand After Hours guests can get in earlier. Would it be wise to switch to Epcot (we are staying at Swan Reserve, so we want to stay close by after an early airport morning)?

After Hour guests can only arrive 7pm or later at HS with that ticket. That evening will also be drawing guests to MK for Deluxe Evening Hours. I‘d probably not change my plans if we were leaving by 8pm anyway and our schedule worked well as is.

Shouldn't be a problem. I have never seem a big impact in park crowds with After hours Events.
