Hey there, Alyssa. Welcome to planDisney!
It sounds like you are planning the BEST DAY EVER! Woo-hoo! Park hopping between Animal Kingdom and EPCOT is always a great idea! A visit to Animal Kingdom to soar on the back of an ikran at
Avatar Flight of Passage, followed by a thrilling race to save the Cosmic Generator at
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, sounds like pure magic! I love your plan!
Alyssa, I'm happy to help you work out the details in purchasing your
Lightning Lanes. If you are staying at a Disney Resort hotel and have a theme park ticket with the
Park Hopper Option, you can purchase your Lightning Lane Multi Pass for Animal Kingdom and your Lightning Lane Single Pass for Guardians of the Galaxy at EPCOT seven days before your arrival. YAY! If you are not staying at a Disney Resort hotel, you can make these purchases three days before you arrive.
Be sure you have downloaded the
My Disney Experience app. This app is where you will make your purchases and where you can select additional Lightning Lanes throughout your day. I also love its
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering feature! It's so nice to hop off of Test Track, open my app, and order my favorite French Bistro Burger while I'm making my way to
Connections Eatery. This is such a great time-saver!
Alyssa, I'm so happy you stopped by with your question. I am a big fan of using Lightning Lanes when I visit, and I know you'll love the convenience it offers. Please let us know if we can help with anything else. I can't wait for you to have the perfect park-hopping day. Enjoy!
Happy planning,
Shonette
