Hi Sara!
Welcome to planDisney, where we’re all about helping Guests like you make the most out of every magical moment at Walt Disney World Resort. Our team of real Guests has experienced almost everything the Most Magical Place On Earth has to offer, and we’re here to share tips, tricks, and personalized advice. With the flexible ticket options Disney offers, you can customize your vacation to fit your plans!
To enjoy EPCOT and ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in a single day, you’ll want to purchase a 1-Day Theme Park Ticket with the Park Hopper Plus Option. This ticket gives you the ability to explore EPCOT and also enjoy a visit to one of Disney’s additional experiences, like the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
Here’s how it works: Walt Disney World Resort features four theme parks—Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. With the Park Hopper Plus Option, not only can you hop between theme parks on the same day, but you’ll also receive a set number of additional visits to select Disney experiences based on your ticket length. Even a 1-Day ticket allows one “Plus” visit, which can be used at:
- Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach water park
- ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex
- Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course
- FootGolf at Disney's Oak Trail
- Fantasia Gardens and Winter Summerland Miniature Golf Courses
One important note: if you're headed to ESPN Wide World of Sports for a special event, like a cheer competition or youth tournament, those often require a separate event-specific admission ticket. In that case, you could pair it with a standard 1-Day, 1-Park ticket to enjoy EPCOT afterward without needing the Park Hopper Plus Option.
And if you do make it to EPCOT, let me give you a few of my favorite picks for snacking and sipping your way around World Showcase! For something quick and crave-worthy, I always swing by Karamell-Küche in Germany for anything covered in their house-made caramel. And when it comes to drinks, you can’t go wrong with a Violet Sake from the Japan Pavilion or a La Cava del Tequila margarita in Mexico. Both are perfect to sip as you stroll.
If you have any more questions as you plan, feel free to come back and see us again at planDisney.
See you real soon,
Brent
