It is always important to check park hours when planning your Disney vacation. Parkgoers beware: find out when this park will close several hours early!
Park Hours
You have done all the work to plan your Disney Vacation; room booked, tickets bought, and meals planned. However, you should do a last-minute check of park hours. Checking park hours can help you determine which park you want to visit on which day.
Park hours are a great way to plan which park you would like to plan for each day. Walt Disney World posts standard park hours in advance, often extending these park hours.
Typically park hours remain somewhat constant, especially at EPCOT. Recently, EPCOT had a late opening and will have another late opening next month. You can read more about that HERE.
Early Closure
It is now posted on the Disney hours page, that on May 21, 2025, EPCOT will close at 5:30 PM. It is reported that this is to accommodate a private event.
EPCOT will close at 5:30 PM on Wednesday, May 21, 2025.

What Does This Mean for You?
