Can you believe it’s finally here? We’ve been so excited about today because it’s Disney World’s 50th anniversary! And a huge celebration is JUST beginning to take place at the parks!

It’s also a HUGE day at EPCOT for other reasons, too — today marks the opening of a brand NEW attraction, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure at the France Pavilion — AND a new restaurant is opening there, too — La Creperie de Paris. SO much going on! So, as you can imagine, all that excitement has brought a LOT of guests to the parks to check all the new stuff out. Let’s take a look at what crowds are like at EPCOT today.

We arrived at the park entrance and noticed there weren’t many people around!

Then, we entered the park and discovered the crowd!

Everyone was gathered in front of Spaceship Earth waiting for the park to officially open. If you’re staying at a Disney World hotel, you can enter the park 30 minutes before opening time.

Once we got inside the park, we noticed that crowds weren’t too bad! Within the first hour of opening, Spaceship Earth was only at a 5 minute wait, Soarin’ was at 10 minutes, Frozen Ever After was at 30 minutes, and Test Track was at 30 minutes. The line for Creations Shop, however, was a different story!

We’re kind of shocked that the crowds aren’t very big in EPCOT so far! But, we’ll be sure to update this post throughout the day so you can see if crowd levels change. So, stay tuned, because we’re covering EVERYTHING about Disney World’s 50th anniversary today!
