Greetings, Michael, and welcome to planDisney.
I’m so happy to hear that you have managed to schedule a reservation at
GEO-82. This will be the ideal way to elevate your day, or in this case, end your day at
EPCOT. My husband and I have high hopes of squeezing a quick stop in during our next visit while my sister takes our little ones for a bit. We always try to schedule a quick Disney date each trip, since my sister is local and joins us each visit. Our last date was an evening resort hoping date for
dinner and
beignets.
As far as timing goes, you can usually check in for your reservation fifteen minutes before your scheduled time. However, even with an early check-in, you may still need to wait to be seated. It just depends on availability inside GEO-82.
Since your visit is still a few weeks away, I recommend checking to see if your reservation can be modified for an earlier time. This can even be done the day before your visit! I find that we have been fairly lucky with scheduling our preferred time in the days leading up to our visit. Just keep in mind you want to check for modifications and not cancel your existing reservation. Hopefully, you can find an earlier reservation to meet your scheduling plans.
While exploring EPCOT, don’t forget to make time to save the galaxy with a spin on
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. It’s a family favorite! We have yet to experience every song, so that is an unofficial goal of ours. Hopefully you get a new song, if you are a repeat rider too!
Michael, I hope this has helped answer your question. Have the best visit, and if there’s anything else we can help with, please be sure to let us know.
Enjoy,
Shantel
