Hey Howdy Hey Joseph and welcome to planDisney!
Joseph, there is so much going on in EPCOT that I am so glad to hear that you will be spending some time there. From new attractions to returning festival celebrations, there are so many reasons to visit EPCOT during your upcoming trip. Let's first talk tickets and access and then go over a few highlights you might want to check out during your trip.
I am happy to share with you that your tickets work exactly as you want them to! If you did decide to leave the park in midafternoon and head back to your resort for a bit, you are totally able to reenter the park on the same day using the same ticket access. This would be a great idea if you are traveling with little ones or just need to take a break in the afternoon!
To highlight a few of the most exciting parts about visiting EPCOT in October I think we should start with attractions.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is one you will not want to miss! This fun attraction themed with several songs you would expect the guardians to listen to while saving the galaxy makes this ride that much more enjoyable and one you might want to ride a couple of times to see which songs you hear! One big thing to be aware of as you are planning your day is how to get in line for this attraction. Make sure you get familiar with the
Virtual Queue process as well as
Individual Lightning Lane purchases as these are the only two ways, at this time, that you will have access to this attraction.
EPCOT and festivals go hand-in-hand and during the summer and fall season, the ever-popular
EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival will be going on. So many great food and drink offerings to experience throughout the parks will make you believe that food is an attraction you should experience! If you check out
Disney Parks Blog, they have a
Foodie Guide that will help to navigate you through this festival with some of their top picks you won't want to miss!
Best of luck as you continue to plan for your trip coming up real soon. If you have any further questions please feel free to stop back and let us know, we would be happy to help!
Happy Planning,
Nick
