Welcome to planDisney, Fran! I'm so glad to be able to answer your question today. Since you're arriving for your visit to Walt Disney World Resort today, let's jump right in and talk about tickets!
Twilight Park Tickets are sometimes offered for purchase to
meeting or conference attendees and are not available to the general public. If you have a Twilight Park Ticket, the time of entry can vary, but it is usually 5:00 p.m. Some conference attendees may have certain types of tickets that allow entry as early as 1:00 p.m., so be sure to double-check your specific ticket to get your entry time. The information you're looking for is typically sent along in the confirmation email that you got when you purchased!
Entering
EPCOT after 5:00 p.m. is going to give you plenty of time to enjoy so many of the Theme Park's most popular offerings. Make sure that you're hungry when you arrive because the
EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival is in full bloom! The
Outdoor Kitchens feature garden-inspired dishes from around the world, and I recommend trying the Avocado Toast with Marinated Toy Box Tomatoes on Toasted Ciabatta from BRUNCHCOT or the Toasted Pretzel Bread topped with Black Forest Ham and Melted Gruyère Cheese from Bauernmarkt: Farmer's Market. Both of them have won my "Best of the Fest" award this year!
Have a magical day, Fran!
