Epcot EMH...PM?

[coasterbob]

Since Epcot has 2 closing times, when we will be there: 7PM for Future World, and 9:30PM for World Showcase, how does the evening EMH work? Do you add 3 hours to each closing time (i.e. 10PM for FW, and 12:30AM for WS) , or is the entire Epcot open until 12:30AM? Thanks, Bob

We were there over Halloween, and EMH included the whole park.

The evening Epcot EMH is always causing confusion because of the different closing times for FW and WS. Bottom line is that although the "official" closing time for Future World is normally 7pm the main attractions continue operating until the closing time of World Showcase every day. This includes Test Track, Soarin', Mission: Space, and Spaceship Earth. There may be one or two more that remain open, but I am not sure. So the evening EMH picks up with the "official" closing time of World Showcase and continues for both sides for three additional hours.

It is confusing, sorry I didn't help clear anything up with my post! Now that I think about it, they did shut down the rides in Future World for those 2 hours and reopened them for the EMH. Maybe to make sure people without wristbands were leaving?

If any rides were closed at the "official" FW closing time they likely do not take part in the evening EMH. The main attractions continue until the closing time for WS every day. For the evening EMH these rides/attractions just continue on for an additional three hours.

People without wristbands are not required to exit any park at the start of the evening EMH. They are free to walk around, shop, eat, etc. Only guests with the wristbands can go on the rides and attractions.

At least when we were there in Oct, Test Track was closed for those 2 hours and then opened back up. We tried to ride after dinner and saw a big sign at the doors with this info. I don't know about the other rides, since we didn't check them--just went into the Showcases for that time.
