EPCOT Sees Delayed Opening on February 23rd Due to Disney Princess Half Marathon

The park, which usually opens at 9:00 a.m., will instead open at 10:00 a.m.

EPCOT will see a later opening than usual tomorrow due to the Disney Princess Half Marathon.

What’s Happening:

  • Normally opening at 9:00 a.m., EPCOT will instead open at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow, February 23rd, due to the Disney Princess Half Marathon.
  • This is a normal occurrence that takes place during most runDisney marathon weekends at Walt Disney World. The race course both starts and finishes in the EPCOT parking lot, so the delayed opening gives Disney extra time to clear guests participating in the event.
  • Regular park guests may still see some impact from the Half Marathon inside the park, as some runners may still be passing through around opening time.
  • It should be noted, this opening time change has nothing to do with the dropping of the virtual queue from Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. That change will take place this Tuesday, February 25th – and we’ll of course be there to check it out.
