While we have loved seeing Mickey and the gang at Garden Grill or blasting off to Mars on Mission: SPACE, there will be a few changes coming to EPCOT soon!

As Disney starts to continue its re-opening processes, the parks will all be reducing their hours further from September 8th through October 31st. However, Annual Passholders visiting the parks soon will have their reservations changed to enter EPCOT earlier in the day!
The Orlando Sentinel has reported that Annual Passholders who have the “EPCOT After 4” passes will be able to enter the park at 2PM instead.

Since the park will be reducing its hours to close at 7PM instead of its previous 9PM closure, Disney is allowing these Annual Passholders to enter EPCOT 2 hours earlier when the reduced hours begin on September 8th.

When we spoke to a Cast Member online, she confirmed the update. However, the 2PM entry time isn’t permanent and will return back to 4PM after October 31st, when the newly reduced hours are discontinued in the parks.

Although Disney World is making changes as a health and safety measure, we’ll continue to keep you updated on everything you need to know about going back to the parks!
Take a look at all the frightfully fun merchandise coming to the Disney Parks for Halloween this year!
