Don’t Be Blindsided by This EPCOT CHANGE

Disney4me · February 23, 2024

Y’all, we spotted a change coming to EPCOT and we NEED to give you all of the deets.

EPCOT

Ah, EPCOT. A place of inspiration, innovation, and, of course — food! From the festivals to the exciting new changes that are slowly being unveiled, it is easy to see why the park is loved by so many. If you’re anything like us, a whole park day is dedicated to EPCOT during your vacation — but we just found a change that is coming to the park that could impact your visit.

On April 21st, 2024, EPCOT will be opening late — at 10AM. Generally, EPCOT opens at 9AM each day. So, this could easily throw some folks off if they’re not prepared.

If you’re a person who feels like they need as much time in the parks as humanly possible (same), keep this in mind when planning out what days you plan to hit the parks. It’s only an hour, but that could be an hour of precious ride time!

However, if you’re interested in a more relaxed morning but you still want to rope drop a park that day — this could be good news for you! With the late start, you’ll have time to sleep in, relax, grab some coffee, and then hit the park! Whatever your plan is, just keep this hour change in mind!

If you’re interested in park hopping that day, have no fear! Since you can finally park hop all day again, you can always start your day somewhere else and then hop to EPCOT later in the day to maximize your time.

Whatever you choose, we hope your day will be amazing! Just be sure to keep this hour change in mind when planning your park days. In the meantime, keep checking in with us at DFB to see what we find next!
