Evening Magic Hours at EPCOT

[anonymousegirl]

Hey all,
Question: when EPCOT has evening magic hours what time does future world close?

As I understand it Epcot could be open an extra three hours, is that from the Future World's 7pm close or World showcase's 9pm close?
Thanks

I remember seeing a Times Guide from Epcot, and hte rides in Future world that stayed open for extra magic hours never closed that day and the three hours began after world showcase closed. as I haven't been there in person, I'm not totally sure if htis is how it works.

The last time we stayed on property (March '08), the emh close at Epcot was midnight, or three hours after World Showcase closed. If you go, the inferno barge burn-off is a real sight to behold (and feel).

Also, most of Future World stays open until 9PM, even on non-EMH days. There's actually more *open* than there is closed. Soarin, Mission: Space, Test Track and I believe Spaceship Earth all stay open until 9PM. I'll have to see if I can find the list somewhere.

That's correct....all featured rides are open until 12.

Future world technically closes at 7 each night, even on EMH nights. However, key attractions (soarin, test track, mission: space, spaceship earth, nemo) stay open until 9, and then are open for EMH as well.

Attractions such as Living with the Land and Universe of Energy usually close at 7, but stay open until 9 on certain dates, usually only during busy periods.

I think Mexico & Norway stay open for the boat rides.

Late in the evening is a great time to take pics of world showcase

No people and the lights look great, you can do long exposures without people walking into your frame.

The music is still going as well, Morocco is a hoot, the background music there includes animal sound effects that you can really hear well late at night.

Just don't think to yourselves, "Oh goody, we'll hit Soarin' during extra magic hours and have hardly any wait!"

We waited 65 minutes during extra magic hours :brick:

I know that morning EMH are better in terms of lines and waits, but I love being in the parks at night and my friend and I are true night-owls, so we're going to do both whenever possible.
