Hi there, Ruth, and welcome to planDisney! I'm so happy you're here with this great question about your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation. It sounds like you're looking forward to a lovely spring day at EPCOT!
Ruth, you'll be happy to know that there are often Special Offers available on the Walt Disney World Resort website. To find current offers, visit
this helpful webpage. Currently, there are
Special Offers for
Florida Residents that might apply to you, depending on which products you are interested in. To find the price for a one-day ticket to
EPCOT, go to this
webpage and enter the number of days you need a ticket (one), and then the date you'd like to visit. Choose EPCOT and then choose the ticket for your age range. You'll see the grand total at the bottom of the screen. If you're a member of any senior citizen organizations, you can check with them to see if they offer discounts for Walt Disney World Resort tickets.
Happily,
Lightning Lane selections are available for all guests, not just seniors. By purchasing and selecting Lightning Lanes, you can wait in a line that's typically shorter than a standby queue. Be sure to familiarize yourself with each of the three offerings. Lightning Lane Single Pass at EPCOT will allow you to ride
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Lightning Lane Multi Pass at EPCOT will allow you to select from many of the other attractions in that park. Additionally, the Lightning Lane Premier Pass will give you access to the Lightning Lane for each attraction - you use this once per attraction, and you don't need to pre-select a time.
Most queues are located indoors, and they typically keep Guests moving along, rather than standing in one spot for a long time. I don't always find that Lightning Lanes are necessary, especially if I'm hoping to take advantage of seasonal offerings and entertainment at events like the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival.
Ruth, I hope this is helpful to you as you count down to your visit to EPCOT. Please stop by planDisney with any other questions you have!
See ya real soon!
