Late hours at Epcot

[bobbingalong]

What attractions do you visit when there is a late park opening at Epcot? Future world or countries? and How busy does it get? We are going 3rd week in August. Thanks in advance.

My husband and I did evening EMH at Future World during our last trip. It was great to run from one big ride to another without any waits. We ended the evening with TT with just minutes until closing. Cool experience.

Epcot evening magic hours can be hit or miss. A lot depends when you go, how busy the park is and if there are any other events going on at the time. We have had great success with FW rides on some nights, but for the most part, lines have been moderate to long well into the second hour of the EMH. We usually spend our time in World Showcase and enjoy the different atmosphere at night without the congestion you find in the regular park hours and stop at TT or Soarin on the way out the park if the line is not too bad. Epcot at night is very much an atmosphere park rather than an attraction park.

Since Epcot PM EMH is one of the earliest in the evening (begins at 9PM, and ends at 11PM,) it can tend to be one of the most-attended and busiest of all the parks' EMH.

Thanks all.

My family loves EPCOT late nights. The funny thing is, though, we never really do anything. It's always "we'll catch up on a bunch of stuff when EPCOT has a late night... Then, we just wind up walking and eating around the World Showcase. Oh well, no one ever seems to complain!

I agree with Robo. We have had very little success with EMH at Epcot since it is a relatively early evening. Headliners like TT and Soarin were just as busy as regular daytime hours the couple times we have tried it. However, it is still fun to just be there--especially if you are staying at an Epcot resort and just have to walk "home".
