Will they let you bring your own wetsuit when diving at Epcot? I get chilled very easily so diving in a shorty in 78 degrees is a bit chilly for me.

No they will not. The water is pretty warm though. I have done it twice with no issues.

IIRC, the only equipment that they allow you to bring: prescription mask and watch/computer.
One thought:the Disney people are very accommodating, and perhaps they would rent you a full suit, if you gave them enough notice.
Enjoy the dive, it's fun!

I get chilled easily so I brought a shorty skin to wear under their wetsuit. No problems there.
If you ask, they'll give you a 2nd shorty suit so you can double up on layers.
Apparently you can bring your own suit, but ONLY if it's brand new (as in, still has the tags on it).
Also, do the early dive - less chance of running out of hot water in the showers after the dive.
Seriously though, it's a relatively short dive, and the water is perfect. Downside is that the access way you use to get to the top of the tank can be a wind tunnel.

Don't forget this:
They never asked if I was NAUI qualified or anything, they just applied the discount.

The primary risk of using your own equipment is cross contamination into their pools. I think most people can realize that if some unknown pathogen or parasite is introduced to their small environments the effects could be devastating to the aquarium.
The Epcot and the Georgia Aquariums are on my bucket list.

I doubled up on the shorties and was cold, but I tend to be colder than most.

I only wore their shortie and like to have froze. I get cold easy and was shaking the whole dive and after.
