If you’re planning a trip to Disney World, there are some things you’ll want to keep track of. For starters, keeping an eye on the weather forecast is ALWAYS a good idea because Florida weather can change often (and you should always expect rain).

You’ll also want to keep an eye on things like ride closures, too, to make sure that those rides you want to experience will be open during your visit. It’s also important to stay on top of park hours because they also change — and that could mean that parks close earlier than normal. This is happening soon in EPCOT.
If you’ll be visiting EPCOT in October, you need to know about one date: October 22nd. That’s because EPCOT will be closing EARLY that day at 5PM. So you might want to plan to visit EPCOT on a different day or, if you have the park hopper option added to your ticket, hop over to a different park.

We discovered that there will be a special event in EPCOT that night for an exclusive conference — the park has been booked for that evening. So you’ll want to be aware of that.
This could affect your plans for the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, too — you won’t have access to the festival after 5 PM, and considering how much food and things to do the festival offers, your best bet is to visit EPCOT on a different day if you can.

This is why you should always keep an eye on the Disney World calendar to check park hours for your trip. We’ll also keep you notified of any instances like this where the parks might close early, so check back with AllEars again soon for more.
