Epcot in the evening

[KatieCharlotte]

I may try to squeeze in an evening at Epcot when there are extended evening hours from 9-11, on low to medium crowd day. If I'm feeling up to a coaster, I might try to grab a VQ Guardians spot at 6 p.m. because I am a Marvel fan, so I am trying to plan with and without that. Otherwise, please don't cringe at my priorities, lol. I love Spaceship Earth and do not like Mission Space. I have fond memories of Living with the Land. I like all the details of the World Showcase. I am still sad that Maelstrom was rethemed, lol. Just tell me if there are flaws in my plans that I am missing or something else makes more sense. I have not been to Epcot in many years.

If I enter the International Gateway at about 8 p.m. after leaving HS, can I easily walk around the World Showcase counterclockwise and enjoy viewing those areas if I don't want a spot for the show? Or will it typically be wall-to-wall people? What time will they close off Morocco to China? What time do non-EEE attractions in World Nature close? 9? Is it reasonable to assume there will be very short lines at Soarin, Spaceship Earth, and the Moana walk-through at around 9-10? If I don't spend time at Guardians, is there any time when Frozen will probably be a walk-on? It's not a priority. It sounds like it's best to go to Remy last? I do want to make it to that, assuming the line is manageable. UK and France are still open until the end, correct? And I can leave out of the International Gateway?

I can't answer all of these but I can some!
1) World Showcase will be crowded, but you'll definitely be able to get around. Once you get into the countries themselves, it will be quite a bit quieter than the main avenue. Be aware that many kiosks/restaurants/shops will close at normal park closing.
2) I'm not sure Frozen will ever be truly no line, but it will certainly be much shorter. Soarin and Spaceship will almost certainly be near walk ons during EEE.
3) You can leave through the Gateway, but I would check boat times if you are planning to go back to HS as they may not be running since HS will be closed by that time. Depending on where you are staying, buses/monorail may be a more consistent option. (not sure about any of that, just guessing)
