We are planning an upcoming trip to WDW in mid-December. We have tickets to dinner and a Candlelight Processional Dining Package at EPCOT. We plan to spend the morning at the Magic Kingdom, and then park hop to EPCOT after 2:00. EPCOT has an expected crowd rating of 6 on that day. We really don’t want to miss the Candlelight Processional. Is it risky to park hop to EPCOT under these circumstances? (In other words, is there a risk that we won’t be able to gain access to EPCOT in the afternoon?)
Thanks!!!

No park has ever closed to hopping except MK for a very brief period of time on 10-1-21 which was the 50th
Unless you’re talking 12/31 you should be fine

Don’t stress about it! You will be fine. It’s a very LOW risk move.

You won’t miss CP if you are in the park for your dining reservations. Parks have had higher numbers of guests, probably r/t the pandemic and rules being lifted.
I see no problem. I hopped 6 out of 8 days and had no issue - in July.

We were at EPCOT this most recent New Years Eve and there wasn’t any issues with the crowds.

The longest lines that evening were for the various world showcase carts selling alcohol

I can’t imagine Epcot ever reaching capacity. Maybe if the entire populations of each of the WS countries suddenly descended on the park at once.
