Hi there, Kalee!
Welcome back to
planDisney! Thanks for taking a break from your busy training schedule and sending another excellent question to us. As a fellow
runDisney fan, I'm delighted to assist you!
If you have a
reservation at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, you won't be able to join the
Virtual Queue for an
EPCOT attraction at 7:00 AM. However, if your tickets are Park Hoppers, you can enter EPCOT later in the day and try for the afternoon Virtual Queue. Typically, spots remain available a few minutes after 1:00 PM, giving you a solid chance to join.
Beginning 7 days before your check-in date (if you'll be staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel), or 3 days before your EPCOT visit if not, you can try to secure a
Lightning Lane Single Pass for
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Lightning Lane entry will not be available after regular park hours (during the
post-race party), but you can select a return window for earlier in the evening.
Details about this year's post-race party haven't been released yet, so I recommend following
runDisney on Instagram and consulting your Digital Expo and Event Guide once available. Here, you should find information about which attractions will be open during the post-race party. Last year, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind was running, but did not use a Virtual Queue during this after hours event. Fingers crossed you'll have the opportunity to save the galaxy during this year's celebration!
I hope this is helpful, Kalee. Best wishes for a successful end to your training program and an unforgettable race weekend. Thanks again for visiting us at planDisney, and we'll see ya real soon!
