"Evening" is the final 3 operating hours before EPCOT's published close on each day; "midday" is 12–5 PM. Both are averages of SupaPark's half-hour posted-wait archive for this park's busiest rides, counting only half-hours with at least two open-status readings. Window: Sep 14, 2026–Oct 11, 2026 (28 days). Evening events with separate tickets can close the park early to day guests; the "typical close" column shows the published close we used.
