EPCOT Closes Early at 9 PM This Holiday Season
Disney World's EPCOT park will have an earlier closing time this holiday season. The park, which is usually open until 9:30 p.m., will now close at 9:00 p.m. starting from November 27th to December 30th in 2026.
This change affects the entire EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays event, which features various holiday-themed activities and performances, including the Candlelight Processional. The processional's final showtime has been moved up to 8:45 p.m., followed by the Luminous fireworks display at 9:00 p.m.
Extended Evening Hours for select Disney Deluxe Resort guests have also been adjusted. Instead of staying until 11:30 p.m., these guests will now be able to stay in the park from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on designated Monday nights.
