Howdy Ivonne!
Welcome to planDisney. No one loves books more than my friend Belle, well, except for my fellow panelist
Scott. As a fellow librarian, he would be ecstatic to hear that you and your friends are looking to visit
EPCOT. I feel like this is the perfect park to visit for your holiday party. Depending on the date you visit, the park might even be decorated for Christmas, making things even more magical. So let me open up my card catalog and help discover your answer.
The great thing about being a Floridian is that you can take advantage of special offers and resident tickets. I checked the
Walt Disney World website, and as of right now, a 1-day date-based Florida Resident Ticket might be your best option. The best way to see pricing is to visit the Walt Disney World website, hover over the Tickets & Parks tab, and click Buy Theme Park Tickets. From here, you will see the Florida Resident Ticket option. Once you click it, you can browse the calendar to see pricing for the times you're interested in. Since ticket prices vary by date, you might be able to save some money if your dates are flexible.
So there is no better way to start your visit to EPCOT than to ride Spaceship Earth. Here you will travel through time and explore the remarkable history of human communication from the Stone Age to the computer age. This should be right up your alley.
One final tip I would like to share with you would be to consider purchasing
Lightning Lane Multi / Single Passes prior to your arrival. The multi-pass option would allow you to pre-schedule your first 3 rides or experiences. After you complete your first experience, you can continue to book more rides. The single-pass option would be your best bet to zip through Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind with the shortest amount of wait time. When you are ready to head to the World Showcase, you can indulge in a time-honored tradition of starting either Left to Mexico or Right to Canada.
Ivonne, thanks for reading along with me today, and don’t forget to thank the Phoenicians (that will make a lot more sense later, trust me). I hope this helps with your planning and that you and your friends have a magical time visiting EPCOT. Please stop back by if you have any further questions, and we’ll be happy to assist you.
See ya real soon,
Robert
