Hiya Mark!
Welcome to
planDisney, where we love using our knowledge and experience to find answers to Disney vacation questions. I always try to enjoy every minute in the theme parks myself! So, I’m glad you decided to stop by with your question about theme park closing policies and procedures.
The
EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival will be in full bloom this May, making it a lovely time to visit! I love strolling through the park to admire the beautiful gardens and fun topiary displays of my favorite Disney Characters. The
Outdoor Kitchens offer some of my favorite festival foods, all inspired by and infused with delicious springtime flavors. I have been looking forward to the Citrus-Baked Brie at the
Odyssey Pavilion all year!
Since
EPCOT closes early on May 21, 2025, you will want to maximize every minute of the day. This might be a good situation to consider
purchasing Lightning Lane passes to enjoy shorter lines and wait times for your favorite EPCOT attractions. If you are in line when EPCOT closes, you will typically still move through to experience the attraction. Cast Members will inform Guests once the standby queue is closed, but Guests in the queue prior to closing will not have to exit the line.
Have an unforgettable visit to
The Most Magical Place on Earth, Mark! If you have more questions we can help answer, please bring them here to planDisney. We are always happy to help you experience the most magical vacation possible.
See Ya Real Soon!
Angie
