EPCOT will be closing early for a private event on June 5 2022 at 8pm with no performance of the park's nighttime spectacular Harmonious.
According to the latest operating hours calendar, EPCOT will open 30 minutes earlier than usual at 8am and close at 8pm. For guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, Early Entry begins at 7:30am.
The early close means light levels will not be dark enough for Harmonious to be performed on June 5.
The private event is for the opening night of the U.S. Travel Association's IPW 2022 tourism showcase. According to the IPW website, "Immerse yourself in the vibrant cultures of World Showcase as diverse Disney stories come to life. Enjoy a variety of international culinary delights, specialty beverages, global entertainment, unique photo opportunities and a few surprises as you stroll around the world at this exclusive party. This special event will be held June 5, and we invite you to be part of the magic as we welcome the world back to Orlando."
Operating hours return to normal on June 6 2022 with a 9pm close. View the latest Walt Disney World operating hours.
