Guests Report EPCOT’s Extended Evening Hours Often Don’t Cut Waits

Overview

• A Reddit post from a guest staying at Disney’s Grand Floridian said EPCOT’s after-hours perk still had long waits, with Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind near an hour and Test Track even longer.
• Because Disney lets guests join queues up to the final minute before closing, those lines carry into the two-hour window and wipe out the hoped-for reset.
• EPCOT’s wide layout and the closure of much of World Showcase during the perk funnel people to a few open rides and eat up time walking between them.
• Other users in the same thread described smooth visits with multiple rides, which they linked to nights with lower crowd levels.
• One guest said they rode Soarin’ after a moderate wait and then left early, highlighting that a perk for Deluxe resort visitors may feel like daytime crowds when the park stays busy.
