Welcome to planDisney, Brian.
Oh boy! It looks you're visiting Walt Disney World Resort at a "practically perfect" time! Did you know that the fabulous
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is currently happening? This is many people's favorite EPCOT festival, Brian. Look out for the stunning
topiary displays of Disney characters and the gorgeous gardens in bloom around World Showcase. Also, don't forget to enjoy some of the unique and delectable food and drink on offer. Everything tastes as good as it looks!
I absolutely love the
Park Hopper Option. There's something really exciting about visiting one Theme Park in the morning, but then magically hopping to another Theme Park for the evening. At this current time, if you have the Park Hopper Option on your tickets then you can park hop after 2:00 p.m. (subject to availability).
I'm sorry that you're having trouble upgrading your ticket, Brian. You might have already tried this, but let me walk you through the normal process. If you'd like to upgrade your Theme Park ticket to include the Park Hopper Option, then open up your
My Disney Experience Mobile App and tap on the three stacked lines at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. Next, tap on "Tickets and Passes" and choose the tickets that you'd like to upgrade. If you see an option to upgrade your tickets, then you can do so within the app. However, if you don't see this option, then I would suggest calling the "
Existing Tickets" team. A friendly Cast Member will be able to wave their magic wand and upgrade those tickets for you.
I hope you have a magical time at the
50th Anniversary Celebration. I'm sure the EARidescent excitement will make your joy soar to infinity and beyond! I would recommend watching
Disney KiteTails at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. It's uniquely entertaining and a ton of fun!
See ya real soon!
Mike
