Hi, Laura, and welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Let's take a stroll around one of my favorite places in the "World," Epcot! As a kid, I fell in love with the attractions of Future World, and these days I can spend hours in the incredible World Showcase. It truly is my happy place!
Park hours for Epcot are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, but the World Showcase pavilions don't open until 11 a.m., with a few exceptions. You can ride through Arendelle on
Frozen Ever After in the Norway pavilion starting at 9, then have breakfast at
Kringla Bakery Og Cafe, or pop over to
Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie in France, which both open at 9.
Laura, I see that Epcot has morning
Extra Magic Hours the day of your visit. If Frozen Ever After is on your "must-do" list, it's among the attractions that open early, so you can ride it before the wait times build later in the morning. I think with Extra Magic Hours, you can get a lot done early, spend some time in World Showcase after 11, and then hop to your next Park in the afternoon.
Plus, the
Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival will still be in full bloom during your visit! If you'd like to try the Outdoor Kitchens, they also open at 11 a.m.
I hope this helps you plan a magical day at Epcot, Laura. Please come see us again if you have any more questions!
