Epcot - Emh??

[princess mom of 4]

When EPCOT has evening EMH, does Future World and World Showcase both stay open 3 extra hours? I noticed on the December park hours schedule, they have different closing times...

Only certain things are open during that time. There is a list on this site that outlines what is open, specifically. Can't remember where it is, though. Perhaps someone does ....

Both sections of the park remain open, but not every attraction remains open. The list has varied in the past, and sometimes more is open than is on the list.

So its best to check the list at the time you are going to go, and consider that to be the minimum that should be open (operational issues aside).

How is EMH at Epcot lately? We were thinking of staying late for the EMH at Epcot next week. I think it's the same night that MNSSHP is at MK. I'm not sure if everyone will be at MK, or if everyone will be at Epcot because they didn't get tix to the halloween party.

FW does NOT fully "close" at 7pm on ANY night of the year.

The following attractions stay open until 9pm EVERY night:

Spaceship Earth
Mission: Space
Test Track
Soarin'
and sometimes, Turtle Talk and the Seas Pavilion

And on EMH nights, they (and a couple more) stay open until 12 midnight along with certain WS attractions. (12:30am at Christmas season).

Each and every attraction that is listed as being a part of Evening EMH at the Epcot theme-park at Walt Disney World, will stay open until approximately Midnight.

If, on occassion, Illuminations is scheduled for a 9:30 PM Eastern time presentation and the Epcot theme-park is scheduled to close at 9:30pm Eastern time, then each and every attraction that is listed as being a part of Evening EMH at the Epcot theme-park at Walt Disney World, will stay open until approximately 12:30 AM (in the morning) in the eastern time zone.

This includes each and every attraction in Future World that is listed as being a part of Evening EMH at Epcot.

This includes each and every attraction in World Showcase that is listed as being a part of Evening EMH at Epcot.

On various dates, there will be certain other attractions that may be open during EMH as well.

The American Adventure in World Showcase is scheduled to have only a limited number of performances when it is a part of Evening EMH at Epcot.
You need to check with the "Times Guide" handout (that is available at many locations around Epcot) to make sure that you arrive in time to see one of these shows, if you intend on viewing it during Evening EMH.

There will also be a listing of food and merchandise locations that will be open.

Though we found out that at least for the "Outpost" in FW, it doesn't stay open the full three hours.

I really wanted that soft serve, too.

We were surprised at how few places are open in FW. The two larger shops just as your are entering FW from the front were closed and many of the food places aren't open. We've only been to EMH evening hours at Epcot once and I'm sure we will go again but we'll be better prepared the next time.

I was a little surprised at the early closing times for parks in December - we haven't been that month before, so takes some getting used to. We usually stay as late as possible every night - What do you do when parks close so early in winter???
