EPCOT: Guardians' Long, Soarin' Down — Eat, Don't Ride

Advice for 2026-09-08 · Published Sep 7, 2026, 9:02 PM ET

Archived briefing. Hours, prices, availability, and recommendations may have changed. Check today’s dashboard.

EPCOT's a different beast tomorrow. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind's at a whopping 95 minutes — that's 1.6x its usual, folks — so either rope drop it or splurge on the Single Pass ($14-20) and forget the rest. Worse: Soarin' Around the World's temporarily DOWN, and Journey Into Imagination with Figment's down too, so don't plan around them. Do what I'd do: dive straight into the Food & Wine Festival. Reviewers sampled all 30 'reimagined' menu items and called 'em hit-or-miss — go for the old favorites and that $13 frozen beer instead. Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway's a solid 55-min backup. Park closes at 9, so grab that last booth reservation tonight. Yuh-huh, what a feast!
