Hi there, Chia-ling!
Welcome to planDisney! How wonderful that you'll be heading into the middle of the magic this very week! My favorite thing about being a panelist is getting to talk all things Walt Disney World Resort each day, so let's get right to your question.
It looks like your
theme park ticket type requires a theme park reservation, and you're having trouble securing a reservation for EPCOT...but you really want to travel through time and space on
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. I'm not sure what type of ticket you have, but I suggest double-checking the
Theme Park Reservation Availability Calendar because it appears that all theme parks are currently showing availability for your intended arrival date and those surrounding it. It might just be that a bit of pixie dust populated some new reservations!
I'm happy to report that all is not lost if you are unable to secure your desired reservation. As long as your theme park ticket has the
Park Hopper benefits, you will be able to head to
EPCOT (pending capacity) once you have scanned into the theme park for which you hold a reservation. Anyone who is hoping to join the 1 PM
virtual queue for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will not be eligible to do so until they have scanned into EPCOT, even if someone with whom they
share plans in
My Disney Experience is currently in the theme park. If all nine members of your party are hoping to enjoy the attraction (and I hope they are because it's a blast), then all nine members will need to make their way to EPCOT to join the queue. If you're making your way from Disney's Hollywood Studios, I recommend climbing aboard the
Disney Skyliner and swinging your way into EPCOT via the International Gateway.
One way or another, Chia-ling, I hope your group gets the chance to enjoy this epic attraction! If you have any additional questions pertaining to the process or about your upcoming visit to Walt Disney World Resort, don't hesitate to
stop back by! I'm always happy to help!
Thinking Happy Thoughts,
Lizzie
