Disney has announced that EPCOT hours will be extended beginning on November 29, the first date of the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays 2024.
EPCOT Hours Extended
Starting on November 29, EPCOT will be open until 9:30 p.m. rather than its previously scheduled closing time of 9 p.m. The park will still open at 9 a.m. Early entry will also be available on select days for guests of most Walt Disney World Resort hotels, which means they can enter the park at 8:30 a.m.
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays 2024
The EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays 2024 begins on November 29 and ends on December 30. The festival is an all-day event, and all guests with valid park admission can partake in the festivities without a separate ticket. This includes access to holiday storytellers around World Showcase, Holiday Kitchens, merchandise, and entertainment celebrating various traditions. You can check out our Full Guide to the 2023 festival to see last year’s offerings.
The Candlelight Processional will also return, though the lineup of celebrity narrators for this year’s event has not been announced. Below, you can watch our video of last year’s performance with Chrissy Metz:
Other confirmed returning offerings include the Holiday Cookie Stroll, Living With the Land — Glimmering Greenhouses (a special seasonal overlay), and Olaf’s Holiday Tradition Expedition scavenger hunt.
