EPCOT Today: Skip Guardians' Line, Feast at the Festival

Advice for 2026-09-08 · Published Sep 8, 2026, 7:16 AM ET

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

EPCOT's a feast-and-fury day, folks! Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind's at 95 minutes — 1.6x its usual — so I'd skip the free queue unless you rope drop it at park open. Worse news: Soarin' Around the World's temporarily DOWN and Figment's down too, so don't build your day around 'em. Do what ol' Goofy would do: dive into the Food & Wine Festival. Reviewers just sampled all 30 'reimagined' menu items and called 'em hit-or-miss — go straight for the old favorites and that $13 frozen beer instead. The Coral Reef restaurant just set a reopening date, so check the app. Park shuts at 9. Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway's a rock-solid 55-min backup ride. Yuh-huh, what a spread!
