Hiya, John! Welcome back to planDisney!
I'm so excited to hear that you're headed to
The Most Magical Place on Earth this summer! There's sure to be magic waiting for you around every corner. Not only will you still be able to celebrate
The Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary Celebration, but the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival will be in full bloom by the time you arrive! Be sure to sample the outdoor kitchens and take some time to discover the character topiaries (especially my favorite, Kermit!).
John, you are welcome to try to upgrade the theme park tickets for one Guest in your travel party to include the
Park Hopper Option! To do this, log into your
My Disney Experience app. Tap the icon that looks like three stacked lines in the bottom right corner, then tap Tickets and Passes. Tap the ticket you'd like to upgrade, then look for the "Change Ticket" option. Follow the prompts to upgrade and complete your purchase. If you have any trouble with this upgrade, you are welcome to call one of the wonderful Cast Members at (407) 934-7639. A little like fairy godparents, they will try to stretch their magic wands as far as they can reach to help you with your request. If you do decide to
call a Cast Member, try to have as much information as you can handy, including your reservation number and which ticket you're looking to upgrade.
Prior to your arrival, I'd also suggest taking some time to explore everything that the My Disney Experience app has to offer! You'll be able to view park maps, check wait times for attractions, and you'll even be able to mobile order food. This way, you know your Sweet-and-Spicy Chicken-Waffle Sandwich from
Sleepy Hollow in
Magic Kingdom Park will be ready and waiting for you right when the hunger strikes.
If you have any other questions, please visit us again! After all, you've got a friend in me.
See ya real soon!
