Hi! I'm doing a quick stayover at Pop on Feb. 25. I won't arrive until the afternoon, but would like to get in a few hours at Epcot. The calendar says it closes at 9 - any chance they will extend the hours? How long is Illuminations? Thanks!

Question

Answer 1

Hi Elizabeth! The calendar that is published is correct and Disney rarely changes the hours for EPCOT. Many of the attractions remain open until nine but check when you arrive at the park which ones will continue in Future World so you can hit those that will close earlier first.

Illuminations begins at 9:00pm and it lasts approximately 20 minutes...longer if it is during a holiday when they add extra fireworks to the show. It is definitely my favorite fireworks and laser show on property and if you can fit that into your schedule it is worth seeing during your stay!
