EPCOT Gets an EARLIER Opening Time in October!

There’s a lot going on in Disney World this coming October, with 50th Anniversary Celebrations all over the parks!

EPCOT is going to be one of the busiest spots, with new attractions and restaurants, along with a brand new fireworks show. That might be why Disney World is giving EPCOT a little extra time in the morning!

According to the Disney World calendar, EPCOT will be opening at 10AM instead of 11AM on every day in October listed so far.

For October 1st through the 23rd, the EPCOT hours are listed as 10AM to 10PM.

The calendar is only showing times through October 23rd, so we don’t know for sure if this will continue through October and possibly even longer.

This update gives us a little more time to ride Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and grab a snack at La Crêperie de Paris, both opening on October 1st!

We’ll actually get even more time to enjoy EPCOT with Extended Evening Hours starting in October! Disney hasn’t released all the extended hours for October yet, but we know that on Monday, October 4th, and Monday, October 11th, there are extended hours for select guests from 10PM to midnight in EPCOT.
