EPCOT
For the first time in a long time, EPCOT was open until 11PM last weekend! It looks like this park will continue that trend for Saturday nights because on both March 6th and 13th, EPCOT is open from 11AM-11PM. This is an extra 2 hours from the previous park hours!

Remember the days when park hours were so limited, we had to leave before dark? Looks like those days are fading fast. Other hour changes include 11AM-9PM park hours for March 5th and 12th. Besides these dates, EPCOT stayed the same!
