EPCOT
Crowds by Month

Month-by-month crowd guide and best times to visit

About EPCOT

A celebration of human achievement and world culture. Home to Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Test Track, Frozen Ever After, and the World Showcase featuring pavilions from 11 countries. EPCOT's festivals drive significant additional attendance.

Crowd Patterns

EPCOT's crowd patterns are heavily influenced by its festival calendar. During Flower & Garden (Mar-Jun) and Food & Wine (Sep-Nov), expect higher-than-normal attendance, especially on weekends and Friday evenings when locals come for the outdoor food and drink kitchens. Non-festival periods see notably lower crowds.
