Hi Mirielle! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Tomorrow you arrive for your Walt Disney World Resort vacation and I am happy to hear that you are planning to visit
Epcot! It is my favorite of the four theme parks. Where else can you find yourself
Soarin' Around the World, test driving a car you create in
Test Track, then waving "Hello!" to Olaf in
Frozen Ever After? It is a really special place!
On most days this month,
Epcot opens at 9:00 A.M. with a few days opening at 8:00 A.M. for Extra Magic Hours. If you are staying at a Disney Resort hotel, you can take advantage of
Extra Magic Hours, but if you aren't staying at a
Disney Resort hotel, you can enter at 9:00 A.M. for normal theme park hours. My family tries to arrive between 30 minutes to one hour before Epcot opens. That way, we can be among the first to ride one of the more popular rides that I mentioned above. It really helps us cut down on wait times for these attractions! Since there is a coffee and pastry stand outside of Epcot's entrance, you can even eat breakfast while you are waiting in line to help pass the time!
Enjoy your visit, Mirielle! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
