Hey Howdy Hey David and welcome to planDisney!
Thank you for stopping by with your question about visiting EPCOT. There is so much happening right now in the park, you have picked a perfect time to visit. Let's go over your options to get you all set for your day at EPCOT.
The easiest place to purchase tickets for EPCOT would be on the
Disney site for theme park tickets. These tickets are date-based so you will have to select when you want their validation period to begin. As you move through the purchasing process, you will have to log into your My Disney Experience account as this is the easiest way to access your tickets.
If you have already downloaded your
My Disney Experience app, you can also make your ticket purchase there. Once logged in, tap the three horizontal lines on the bottom right and then the tile "My Tickets & Passes". At the top of the screen, you should see a blue (+) which you can tap on for more options including "Select Tickets" to purchase your tickets for EPCOT. Follow the steps and you are all set!
Accessing your tickets on the day of your visit can come in several forms. You are more than welcome to purchase
MagicBand+ to wear on your wrist throughout the day to access your ticket and any Lightning Lanes you purchase and book. You can also set up a
MagicMobile Pass on your phone which is free to do. Your phone will give you access to your tickets and Lightning Lanes as well by turning on your NFC and tapping your phone to the touchpoints throughout the park. Your other option would be to stop at a ticket window and pick up your Magic Key Card which is a physical card you will be issued to tap on the touchpoints. Either way, you will be in for a day of excitement in EPCOT!
One of the more exciting parts about visiting EPCOT is the seasonal festivals they have. Follow along at the
Disney Parks Blog for updates on these festivals as well as recommendations for food and drink offerings during these festivals. Of course, you can always stop by for any other questions you may have as well!
To Infinity and Beyond,
Nick
