EPCOT Early Entry TakeawaysIf you're doing Early Entry from International Gateway, try to be on that Skyliner as early as possible. You won't feel like you're ever just waiting around forever for things to open. The morning will move quickly.
This entrance opens each day at the same time the front entrance of Epcot opens. Those guests with early dining reservations are allowed entry early just as they would in the front.
Suffice to say, EPCOT attendance increases throughout the day because more people arrive than leave, and wait times remain fairly steady for a lot of attractions. From a strategic perspective, the best time to do EPCOT is before noon, not in the afternoon or at night.
The Disney After Hours at EPCOT event takes place from 10.00pm to 1.00am. You can get a head start on the fun by entering EPCOT at 7.00pm. You do not need a Disney park reservation or additional ticket to enter EPCOT after 7.00pm.
Whether you dine at the restaurant or in the lounge, you'll need to make reservations. You'll also need to have park tickets as well as a theme park reservation. This newest dining experience is definitely the most popular in EPCOT and likely throughout all of Walt Disney World right now.
EPCOT is arguably the least family-friendly park at Walt Disney World, so you may not need more than a few hours to do everything of interest if you have small children. With that said, a full day at EPCOT is highly recommended for first-timers.
Yes, it is possible to access the World Showcase via a back entrance which brings you in between UK and France a short walk to Japan; however, Epcot parking is at the front of the park.
Off-peak times fall around January, February, September, and early November. Discounts on vacation packages booked directly through Disney (which combine park tickets and hotel stays) can be found year-round, though they're most common at these less-crowded times.
We've noticed a slight uptick in crowds on Thursdays, and a more significant one on Fridays. Still, not nearly as bad as Saturday or Sunday. Even though the impact on wait times isn't terrible, Epcot is the one park we try to avoid on Saturday and Sunday if at all possible.
So when should you visit for the lowest crowds, generally? Go on a Wednesday! Fewer guests head to EPCOT mid-week and you can hopefully then walk up to the festival booths without having to wait in long lines. As a bonus tip — make sure to visit the festival booths early in the day.
