Hi Maria, welcome to planDisney!
Spring is in bloom at
Walt Disney World Resort. EPCOT is especially photogenic these days as the
EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival continues to delight Guests with its character topiaries and colorful floral displays. The
food is picture-perfect, as well!
I understand you will be arriving in the United States from Ireland this Thursday. I'll ask Tinkerbell to send some extra pixie dust your way to ensure a smooth flight and on-time arrival. PlanDisney's UK panelist in residence,
Jane, informs me that UK-based Guests are currently only able to purchase 7 or 14-day Magic Ticket options through the Walt Disney Travel Company. I know that's not the information you were hoping for, Maria, but let's see if we can dig a little deeper and see how we can make your wish for a one-day theme park ticket come true.
As soon as you arrive in the United States, you can access
disneyworld.disney.go.com to make a
one-day theme park ticket purchase. Before doing so, it's crucial to check the
Theme Park Availability Calendar. If there is availability, proceed immediately to purchasing your tickets and booking your
theme park reservations through the Disney Park Pass system. Currently,
EPCOT is the only theme park available for Saturday, April 9. If that's the case on Thursday, as well, and you wish to visit a different park, you can always add the Park Hopper Option to your ticket purchase. This would allow you to visit another theme park such as Magic Kingdom park after Park Hopper hours begin at 2:00 p.m. With a Park Hopper ticket, you only need to make a theme park reservation for the park you plan to visit first. If you end up spending the whole day in EPCOT, the new nighttime spectacular
Harmonious will not disappoint, nor will the sight of Spaceship Earth lit up as a
Beacon of Magic in honor of the
50th Anniversary Celebration.
I'm saving up my happy thoughts for you this week, Maria. I believe in the power of dreams, I believe in fairies, and I believe you are going to have a magical day next Saturday.
Plan magic; planDisney.
