Wednesday, February 8th - park open until 9:00 pm. No Fastpasses as this was a last minute decision.
I landed in Orlando for a business trip at 4:15 pm and decided to do Epcot. Got there at 5:45 pm (after claiming luggage and rental car).
I walked on Spaceship Earth on my way back to World Showcase. Started at Canada and went counterclockwise around the world.
Got in line for Frozen at 8:21pm (posted one hour wait) and was on in 22 minutes.
Was off the ride and outside to hear the five minute call for 9:00 pm Illuminations and find a seat by Mexico.
I worked the next day and then went to the MK "After Hours" event from 7-11 pm which was phenomenal!
Park still open 7-8 so grabbed Starbucks and watched Wishes. Park closed at 8 for regular guests, I rode SM, Little Mermaid, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train (5 Times), Pan (twice), Pooh, Haunted, Splash, and Pirates all with ZERO wait -- walked right in every single ride. Other rides were open (BTMRR was supposed to be open but was down). Dumbo was going around EMPTY.
If you have the chance -- go to this event!! $119 per adult is expensive but so worth it. Free ice cream, popcorn, and bottled drinks from carts included.
On a side note, they issued large lanyards for this event which I think worked way better than bracelets, allowing CM's to very effectively clear the park of non-event guests right at 8:00 pm. I literally walked onto the ride vehicle on SM, without stopping, at 8:00 pm. I noticed a security guard at the entrance, along with the CM. this was the only time, so in assuming it was part of clearing the park. A+
