This was a nice surprise that we discovered by accident one night at EPCOT:

Even though Future World "closes" 2 hours prior to the WS, the following four attractions remain open for those last 2 hours:

Mission: Space
Test Track
Spaceship Earth
Honey, I Shrunk the Audience

Hope this gets to some of you who, like us, did not know it!
 
Wow, thanks I did not know that !!!! Were the Q lines long or was it pretty empty ??

Thanks,
Cheryl
 
We always go on Spaceship Earth at night just before leaving the park. Everyone else seems to go first thing in the morning.
 

Wait times for Test Track were the longest (about 40 min) even near closing time. Mission: Space was 5 minutes from about 6:00pm til close. Spaceship Earth was a walk on from early afternoon til close. Didn't go to HISA but I suspect the wait times were short.
 
Years ago, we were leaving Epcot when FW world was "closed" but HISTA was open. It was sitll new at that point. We got into the last show, which was around 8:45. It was so cool since we could walk right in.

I think that the attractions that are open when everyone is at WS is one of the hidden gems of Epcot.
 
Yeah, it was really neat. We park hopped over there around 6:00 pm and I thought we would be able to do 1 or 2 things. But on our second trip thru Mission:Space I noticed the FastPass return time was something like 7:35-8:35 so I asked a CM if the ride was open til 9 and she told me about the others. It is definitely not advertised anywhere or believe me, I would have seen it!! So you are right about it being a hidden gem!
 
We just discovered this the last time we were there! I wonder if they just started to do this...but it is great!!! The wait times are much better, TT is still pretty crowded but everything else was very quick!!!
 
We often have a FP for Test Track in the evening and ride on the way out of the park...:sunny:
