Epcot Extra Eve Hours

[dreaminboutdisney]

When Epcot is open late for extra eve hours, what time does Future World close and what time does World Showcase close? Are all the countries open late those evenings or is it just specific rides and attractions?

When I was there for EMH on the 16th, World Showcase still closed at 9 just as Illuminations started. The rides in Future World closed at midnight. I know Universe of Energy, Soarin, Test Track, Mission Space, Spaceship Earth, and (I think) Living with the Land were all open, and my hazy memory seems to be saying Living Seas and JIYI were open too. Although I can't quite figure out the point of LS staying open since when I was there at night on my trip before last, the lights in many of the tanks (such as the manatees) had been turned out for the night so they could get their sleep; and that was relatively early, around 6:30 from what I can remember.

If you want to ride Soarin' or Test Track don't bother to show up for evening EMH. The wait times for both of these attractiona were over 2 hrs. We rode some smaller rides , grabbed an ice cream & left. The headline rides at Epcot & MGM have crazy lines. Do yourself a favor , get to these parks when they open & ride them then.

World Showcase closes at 9:00pm after Illuminations. Only select attractions in Future World are open.

We passed on most of the EMH last week after reading the horror stories hear on the DIS. We tried the Studios on Sunday night but it was mobbed! Luckily for us we heard a CM tell someone that they reopen the FP machines when the EMH starts so we grabbed FP for TOT. Good thing we did because the stand by line was something like 85 minutes. I suggest you skip the EMH parks and do what you can first thing in the morning, especially if you are going anytime before September. The parks were crowded but not bad our first few days (we arrived on a Wednesday) but by Tuesday they were packed.
