We are arriving at the Poly on Oct. 5th and have dinner ressies at 'Ohanas at 5:00pm. We were thinking that after dinner, we might take the monorail to Epcot. Their regular hours are 9:00am - 7:00pm, but there are different times listed for some of the attractions, like Soarin' is open until 9:00pm, as well as a few other things. HOw does this work? If we get there at 7pm, can we still get in and maybe do a couple of things? Any insight would be great. Thank you!

World Showcase will probably be open until 9 pm - It is FutureWorld that would close at 7.

They extend the hours of a few popular attractions such as Soarin', TestTrack & Spaceship earth in FW, even though most of the attractions close at 7. Provided lines are not prohibitive, you'll be able to visit the attractions listed that are open in Future World past 7 pm before Illuminations.

Note as well that it has been our experience that all of the FastPasses for the day will be exhausted by the time you arrive, however. You may not be able to visit more than one or two attractions, dependent on crowds.

Usually most of future world closes at 7 but the rest stays open until 9 including all table service meals. Some of the attractions in future world like the big rides will also be open until 9. For the most part it will seem as if the park is running as normal until 9.

You should be able to enter until 9 pm.
World Showcases hours 11am-9pm
Future World is 9am to 7pm
But the more popular ride in Future World are open until 9 pm. So, you could ride those or go to the World Showcase, it is beautiful at night.

That is true, only ones that are listed on the EMH list. Some rides (very few) do not participate at all w/ EMH. But I do know that Test Track, Soarin', yes those would be open till the end of the EMH.
