Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Avi!
Welcome to planDisney! We are DELIGHTED you stopped by and are honored to help you plan your upcoming trip to Disney World! It looks like you are ready for some incredible excitement, food, future-world thrills, and classic world-showcase vibes at
EPCOT! It’s the kind of adventure where you might zip through spaceships, sample delicious global treats, and soak in all that Disney enchantment with your family. That said, in the interest of staying ahead of the game (and maximizing every moment), let’s chat about the park hours for April 2026.
Mickey typically publishes official park hours only a few months in advance, so right now, there is no confirmed closing time. However, it’s very unlikely that the park will close as early as 6:00 p.m. In past years around that same time, EPCOT has usually stayed open until about 9:00 p.m. or later. Since your visit falls during the
Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival and Spring Break season, longer park hours are pretty common to handle the extra crowds and evening festivities.
Here is a planDisney pro tip. You can keep an eye on the
Disney World website or the
My Disney Experience app as your date gets closer. Once the schedule is released (usually about 30–60 days ahead), you’ll see the exact opening and closing times listed for your visit.
So go ahead and plan for a full day — and night — of fun at EPCOT! Arrive early, pace yourselves, and save time to enjoy a late dinner in World Showcase while the lights shimmer on the lagoon. Odds are, you’ll be strolling through the park well after sunset, soaking in that extra bit of Disney MAGIC that makes EPCOT truly unforgettable.
Oh, and be sure to check out the
Disney Parks Blog for the most up-to-date information on all things Disney. Mickey and his pals have some incredible things planned, and we don't want you to miss any of the fun!
If you have other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. We are here to help in any way!
Have a MAGICAL day!
