Candlelight Processional Epcot Entry

[toesmom]

Hi - can anyone confirm if we need to have park reservation for Epcot for candlelight processional if we plan to park hop to Epcot for our afternoon lunch and then show at 8:30.
I have park reservation now for Animal Kingdom in the morning and was planning the candlelight processional lunch/show in evening for afternoon park hopping after 2.

This is for December 29.

I just need to confirm what the policy is so I can change park reservation if I have to. Thank you!

As long as it’s after 2PM and you have either Hopper tickets or AP - all is good. We had park ressies for Hollywood and lunch scheduled for a 7:00 CP show at 2:40 at Epcot - no problem.

As long as your lunch is after 2:00, you're good.

2 key points:
- lunch reservation is after 2 PM
- you have park hopper or AP

If you have both of those you will be fine.

And "unofficially" they start letting Guests in a little before 2 PM-IIRC it was 1:50 PM when we were let into MK when we hopped there in October.

We just walked back into Epcot at the IG and they were not letting hoppers in yet at 1:50.
