Most days throughout the year Epcot opens at 9:00 AM and closes at 9:00 PM. That isn’t the case during the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays. The park still opens at 9:00, but it closes at 9:30. This is in part because of the length of the Candlelight Processional. During the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays Luminous The Symphony of Us closes Epcot’s evening at 9:30 instead of the normal 9:00. As always, double check times before heading out. The Epcot International Festival of the Holidays runs through December 30.
