You Might Want To AVOID EPCOT on April 21st

It’s always best to expect the unexpected on your Disney World trip, but keeping an eye out for any changes that happen ahead of your arrival can go a long way to help you prepare.

But, no matter what, sometimes things happen that are out of your control. Typically, Disney World parks keep regular hours, however, every once in a while a park might have updated hours. And, for folks heading to EPCOT soon, there’s a particular day you might want to keep tabs on.

Heads up if you’re planning an upcoming trip to Disney World — EPCOT park hours have changed for April 21st. Instead of opening at 9AM as is typical, EPCOT will be opening at 10AM.

The Disney World website doesn’t indicate why the change has been made, but our best guess is that it has something to do with the 2024 runDisney Springtime Surprise race weekend that’s taking place during that time.

It’s always a good idea to check the Disney World park hours before you book your trip and even before you head to the parks as things are subject to change. We do our best to keep tabs on the latest updates too, so you can always check back here!
