Hiya, Stephen, and welcome to planDisney! It's so exciting that you get to visit the Most Magical Place on Earth in just a couple of short days! I'm so happy that you've stopped by with this great question.
Stephen, I love the idea of visiting
EPCOT on your arrival day. According to the
Hours & Events Calendar, EPCOT will be open until 9:00 pm during your visit. At this time, a discounted Disney Theme Park ticket option is not available to the general public for entrance after a certain time of day. Ticket prices vary by day, so head to
this website to get an accurate price for your ticket.
I can tell you, however, that you can do and see so much within a five-hour window. When it comes to attractions, the
My Disney Experience Mobile App will tell you which ones have the lowest wait times. If it's available, I recommend purchasing a
Lighting Lane Single Pass for
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Since you're arriving soon, you can go ahead and book this!
Since your visit falls within the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, you'll find multiple kiosks called Global Marketplaces throughout the park. Each offers unique snacks and beverages inspired by flavors from around the world. You might find that you don't need to stop for dinner once you've tried enough of the seasonal snacks!
Also included with your park admission is the option to see an incredible concert at the America Gardens Amphitheater in the America Pavilion within the World Showcase at EPCOT. The
lineup includes the band Bowling for Soup from November 14-15, and The Beach Boys from November 16-17. There are three showtimes each night, and you can arrive a little early to ensure you get a great seat.
Stephen, hopefully this shows you how much value you'll get with a park ticket during your conference. If you have any other questions or would like any recommendations, please stop by planDisney anytime!
See ya real soon!
Jennifer
