When to Visit

Walt Disney World's second park is also its second most popular. EPCOT can be very crowded during holidays, festivals, and special events, so it is very important to know what's happening before you plan your visit.

We track wait times every day of the year at EPCOT, so we know things like when the line at Soarin' is going to reach two hours long. This also means we know when the park has its lowest wait times. Check the Crowd Calendar to see how crowded EPCOT is, was, and is going to be.

Special Events at EPCOT

Special events affect traffic patterns at EPCOT more than any other park. If you're not there for a special event you may find yourself amidst thousands of guests who are.

EPCOT hosts the Flower & Garden Festival in the spring, Food & Wine Festival in the summer, Festival of the Holidays in the fall, and Festival of the Arts in the winter. All of these events and their key dates are represented in our Crowd Calendar.

A day at EPCOT is a day well spent – if you know where to go and what to see. EPCOT’s must-dos include Soarin' Around the World, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, plus the iconic Spaceship Earth. Test Track is popular, as well, but tends to break down often.
