EPCOT will close several hours earlier than normal on Wednesday, July 1, 2026.
EPCOT Closing Early
The park will close at 5:30 p.m. that day. It will open for Early Entry for hotel guests at 8:30 a.m. and then open to all guests at 9 a.m.
The early closure is likely due to a private park buyout event.
EPCOT is scheduled to close at 9 p.m. most dates around July 1.
Other Walt Disney World theme parks will be open later on July 1. Magic Kingdom is open until 10 p.m., Disney’s Hollywood Studios until 9 p.m., and Disney’s Animal Kingdom until 6 p.m.
