    Does Epcot still let people without park tickets enter the park at the end of the night?

    Hi there, Alicia! Welcome back to planDisney - it's great to see you again! It sounds like you're getting your (Donald) ducks in a row for your next trip to Walt Disney World in November, with your 60-day window to book dining reservations and experiences from the Enchanting Extras Collection opening TODAY! I'm happy to help with your question so you have all the information you need. 

    The holidays are always a perfect time to visit, and I definitely recommend making time to visit all four of the theme parks to take in the decorations, special entertainment, and seasonal goodies. I have a November trip lined up myself with some planDisney pals, and we have plans to make our way all around the "World" to soak in the sights and sounds of the season! One of my favorite annual events is the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, which will be kicking off on November 27 this year - just in time for your vacation!

    Alicia, EPCOT and the other theme parks are only open to Guests with valid admission at all times.  Even if it is near the posted park closing time, individuals without tickets or an Annual Pass will not be allowed to enter the park. If you're looking for something fun to do later in the evening, Disney Springs is always a great destination at the holidays (or really any time!). You can tackle some shopping for the folks on your nice list and enjoy the annual Christmas Tree Stroll. It's a great place for a festive photo op!

    Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney again, Alicia! If our planDisney crew can help with any other questions to make your vacation as magical as can be, please come see us again. We're always here to help!

    See Ya Real Soon,
