EPCOT will have a delayed opening on Friday, October 23, and Sunday, October 25, 2026 due to the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend.
EPCOT Delays Hours for Two Fall Dates

On October 23 and October 25, EPCOT will open at 10 a.m. instead of 9 a.m. Guests staying at a Walt Disney World resort have access to early entry, which will begin at 9:30 a.m. The park will close at 9 p.m.
The delayed openings give runners extra time to complete their races before the park opens.
Three runDisney races take place as part of the Wine & Dine weekend, all starting in EPCOT:
- October 23: Disney Wine & Dine 5k
- October 24: Disney Wine & Dine 10k
- October 25: Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon
Check out the merchandise, medals, and road closures for this year’s events. Brooks has also revealed the running shoes for this weekend.
