Epcot Hours

Epcot has been staying open later than the other 3 parks, mainly to accommodate guests wishing to stick around for dinner at one of the World Showcase restaurants.

Some restaurants in the parks are allowing guests to book reservations that will extend after park closing. Read more about it here.

Epcot has been opening usually at either 11 am or as late as 12pm during the last few months. The park closes at either 7, 8 or 9p.m. most nights.

For the first two weeks in January 2021, Epcot park hours have been updated.

January 1-16 Epcot center will be open from 11am-8pm

Previously Epcot was scheduled to open at noon and close at 8. For January 1-16, however, guests can enter Epcot at 11a.m.
