Plan a day at EPCOT
Thursday, December 31, 2026
- Open 9:00 AM to 1:00 AM
- Early entry for hotel guests
PackedPeak. Based on 11 years of crowd records for this time of year.
What drives it: Christmas and New Year break. Longer park hours than usual. Ticketed event in the evening, so day crowds thin out.
Same weekday last year, Thursday, January 1: crowd level 9, a holiday.
There isn’t enough history for EPCOT yet. Forecasts start after about a week of recorded waits and get sharper every week after.
