Hi Destini! Welcome to planDisney!
Getting together with friends and family at the
Walt Disney World Resort sounds like the perfect idea! I can't think of a better meeting place than exploring the countries around the World Showcase.
When buying a
single-day park ticket, you will be required to select the park you will be visiting when making your purchase. By doing so, you will not be required to make a theme park reservation to EPCOT since your reservation will automatically be set at the time of booking. This helps take away an important step of the planning process and allows you to focus on more important things, such as researching your top food and drink items to get at the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival.
Speaking of this festival, there seem to be some amazing booths this year with some delicious new items to choose from. Flavors of Fire has a Chimichurri Marinated Skirt Steak Taco that is out of this world and China has a Crispy Duck Bao Bun that is a must-try. To satisfy your sweet tooth, make sure to stop by Flavors of America to try the Freshly Baked Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Icing. I can't say enough wonderful things about this dish!
Since you will be spending the entire day in EPCOT, I would go ahead and try to snag a boarding group for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in the morning. Utilizing the
Virtual Queue System, log on to your My Disney Experience App at 7 AM to claim a spot. If you didn't have any luck, another Virtual Queue will open up at 1 PM for an additional chance. This attraction is a ton of fun and absolutely thrilling!
Destini, I hope you and your traveling party have a magical time later this year!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
See ya real soon!
