Hi Croix!
Welcome to planDisney!
If you happen to be staying at a Disney World resort or select good neighbor hotel, you will have access to Early Entry (which is such a
great perk!). So, you won’t have to worry about waiting for official park open to enter the park.
If you’re staying off property with an early
dining reservation, the Cast Members are always very helpful in making sure you get to your reservation on time. Be on the lookout for a queue at the entrance designated for guests with early reservations or ask a Cast Member to point you in the right direction. The Cast Members will let you know the current protocol once you’re there.
I recommend getting to the park early to give yourself plenty of time to make it through security and get in the queue to enter the park. I’d also
check out the map ahead of time, so you have a good idea of which way you’ll be going once you enter.
While you’re at Epcot, don’t miss all the fun that the
Flower & Garden Festival brings along with it! The festival goes until June 2 this year. I personally love seeing all the incredible topiaries and trying the delicious food at the booths around the park. And my boys love exploring Butterfly Landing, completing Spike’s scavenger hunt, and getting some energy out in the play area that pops up during the festival.
As you continue to plan, let us know if you have any other questions! We’re always happy to help!
