    What are Epcot hours Jan 6 2026, trying to plan a trip! Any special events going on that day?

    Welcome to planDisney, Kathleen!

    What a wonderful time of year to plan a visit to EPCOT! January brings cooler temps, lighter crowds, and just enough post-holiday sparkle to make your day feel merry and bright without the hustle and bustle of peak season.

    Kathleen, although the official park hours for January 6, 2026, haven’t been released just yet, EPCOT typically operates from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM that time of year. I recommend keeping an eye on the Hours & Events Calendar on the Walt Disney World Resort website or the My Disney Experience app as your trip dates get closer to confirm the exact hours for your visit.

    As for special events, your visit falls during a unique in-between window. While the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts usually kicks off in mid-January, you may still catch the tail end of the holiday décor and entertainment that lingers from the Christmas season. It’s a peaceful time to explore World Showcase and soak in all the global flavors without the festival crowds.

    One fun thing to note is that Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend begins the day after your visit (January 7), so you might notice a few runners and race-themed merchandise popping up around the parks. It doesn’t impact park hours or your plans, but it can bring an extra buzz of excitement in the air!

    I hope this helps you get started with your magical itinerary! If you need any extra help choosing the perfect spot to watch Luminous The Symphony of Us, navigating Lightning Lanes for popular attractions like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, or grabbing a dining reservation with a dreamy view, I’m hEAR to help.

    Wishing you a trip full of wonder, world flavors, and magical Disney memories!

    See ya real soon,
