Anyone know how much it costs to rent EPCOT for the evening?

Once maaaany years ago, I was at Disneyland for a private Apple party. It was so great not having to wait in lines for rides!

I would guess $100,000

Might be worth it to ride Guardians 52 times!

I’m expecting and hoping crowds will be pretty low at Epcot this day. Maybe we can get a few rides on Guardians with minimal waits!

Most likely way higher. I went last year as I was there for the conference. Last year they rented out Hollywood Studios. They get anywhere from 5000-8000 attendees that go. So let's say at an average cost of $100/person. So $500,000-$800,000. All the booths were also open and all the food & drink were free. So you could walk up Epic Eats and ask for a funnel cake and they hand it to you for free. Not sure what that cost would be but I'd guess pretty high. Then then had catering areas throughout. There were portable bars all the way down Hollywood Boulevard. Then catering set ups in Toy Story Land, Galaxy's Edge and Animation Courtyard. And it was good catered food and desserts. Add on top of that they had to setup a stage and sound system for Maroon 5 to play. Then every ride is open on top of that. My guess is you are looking into at least the $10 million minimum range to rent out the park. Think about it, if it was "only $100k" you know how many wealthy would rent out the park. Especially "influencers".
