Yeah, I can see a misspelled word that is some other actual word get by, but, "restaints" should have had the magic wavy red underline.
Then again, "kiester" and "EPOCT" also got through...

Ha, where did EPOCT get through?
Finally some serious operating hours. Very interested to see how crowds respond with the nighttime spectacular (a la DCA World of Color) + emphasis on lighting packages (a la Pandora)

You know what's funny?
Stop. That can’t be real?
And Fireworks, hopefully....
Yup.
Walt Disney World sign for Epcot incorrectly spelled
Talk about a whoopsie! A road sign at Walt Disney World property reads "EPOCT." It's actually supposed to say "EPCOT.'

You had ONE job: Disney sign leads to 'Epoct'
Road sign misspelled at Walt Disney World resort.

I'm not saying that they definitely took my advice. They probably didn't... but there's a chance!
Edit - I misread the post, didn't realize most of the days are a 9 PM closing.

Why was the Gamer parking lot renamed and why was the Hero lot's sign re-designed?

if you were world showcase... but not if you are supposed to be the hottest new thing in town.
10am openings? Horrid..
10pm closings?
I can only guess it's labor still?

So I've been watching various vloggers' videos of Epic Universe...and it feels so good to say that Epic has exceeded my wary but high expectations. The attention to detail, the artistry, the lavish themeing, the rides that set a new standard for theme park attractions, and even the food getting rave reviews overall. Plus the park is so gorgeous...wow.
I haven't posted here much lately because I just don't care much about Disney parks anymore. Under Iger's leadership, they're self-destructing, and none of the new announced expansions for WDW interest me. Except maybe Villains Land, but we all know that it'll likely be lackluster and corners will be cut. As usual, Iger will lean heavily on IP and nostalgia, not innovation. And I'm kinda tired of that. The only Disney park I'd care to visit now is Tokyo Disneyland. But until I get there, Epic Universe will do just fine. Bravo, Universal. You're my new Number One.

Quite frankly, I wish all parks operated on that kind of schedule. Opening at 10am is much more civilised!

Right after they give us a 20% discount for cutting the cooler hours of the day out of the operating schedule

A lot of amusement and theme parks regularly open at 10:00 AM and do just fine. Cedar Point, for example.
I don't know why Orlando has conditioned everyone to think opening at 9:00 AM is a requirement. If you're a morning person, fine. If you're not, earlier openings just make your vacation that much more stressful.
Also, yes, it's a money and maintenance thing. If corporate is giving them the option of either: A - opening at 9:00 AM to be "in line" with the other parks but closing early so people barely get to see the park at night, or B: opening later so people can see more of the park at night, I am very glad they have apparently chosen the second option.
That said, June-August in Florida mean it basically doesn't get dark until 9:00, so still having 9:00 be the standard closing time isn't late enough.
Nobody tell him about the unannounced 5th portal - Muppet Metropolis.

How about this for a radical idea for park operating hours:
6:00am - noon, with early entry at 5:30
6:00pm - midnight, with early entry at 5:30 and extra hours available until 1:00 am
Early Entry and Extra Hours for whatever cohort is appropriate
That has 12 hours of open park time, and it lets night owls do their thing and it lets early birds enjoy the morning. All during hours that are not surface-of-the-sun hot. People can go shopping or the water park or rest or resort hop and explore during those middle hours.

How is epic universe not leaning on ip and nostalgia? One of the lands is based on one of the oldest IPs ever.

I never quite got those who enjoyed springing out of bed at an ungodly hour to secure ride reservations and head to early entry every day of a WDW vacation. That doesn't sound like much of a vacation to me!
Disneyland Paris, on the other hand, has had similar hours to Epic for a while, opening at 10am and staying open later for the nightly fireworks as it gets dark quite late in Paris for much of the year. I've always found that much more pleasant!
They seem to have edged down half an hour to 9:30 by the looks of the current schedule, but they are open to the unusual hour of 10:40pm, presumably for the fireworks. Even little Walt Disney Studios is open 9:30-9pm which is pretty decent.
In short, I hope Epic Hours catch on in Orlando!
