Epcot after hours.

We are going to a Disney wedding in May and the meals are in Epcot, I notice that it is extra hrs that night and wondered what exactly goes on in Epcot when its extra hrs , are all the rides open, and is everything open late. thank you.

We stayed in Epcot in August for the extra magic hours and regretted it. World Showcase was heaving. The queue for Frozen Ever After was about 40 minutes, there was even a massive queue for the Mexico ride.

From what I could see everything was open. CM's will check your passes before you can go on any rides or buy anything to make sure you are an onsite guest. We didn't get checked because it was too busy to go and do anything!

Surprised no one has answer this yet. Anyway, as far as I know, every attraction is still open, and they usually let you join the queue up until park close (although for rides like Soarin, Frozen etc this may be different due to the fact you may get bigger queues).

The only thing that may be different is eateries, not all of them may be open up until park close.

I didn't do it this year but did Epcot evening EMH last year.

As far as I remember most of the rides were still open including Living with the Land (so bizarre floating through it at night), Soarin, Test Track, Frozen Ever After, Spaceship Earth. You could also meet Anna and Elsa, but will add that meeting Anna and Elsa at EMH is not a good idea as they reduce capacity with low crowds so it takes as long to do this as it does during the day. The shows may or may not be running, American Adventure definitely wasn't but not sure if the ones in China/France/Canada run.

In terms of the shops and eateries - some of them close with the park (I remember walking past Karamell Kuche and Mitsukoshi during EMH and both were closed), while others stay open (I ate at Les Halles during EMH).

I rather liked wandering through World Showcase late at night!
