Hi there Ken, Welcome to planDisney! Thank you for stopping by with your excellent question. I'm thrilled to assist you! It sounds like you're gearing up for a trip to
Walt Disney World Resort. You're sure to make some excellent memories at the Most Magical Place on Earth!
Yes, you can absolutely visit both
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and
EPCOT in the same day. You will need a
Park Hopper ticket to move between different parks on the same day. This ticket allows you to start your day in one park and hop to another.
I would suggest beginning your day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, where Galaxy’s Edge is located. Arriving early will give you a better chance to experience popular attractions such as
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance before the crowds build up. Hop to EPCOT in the afternoon. The two parks are quite close to each other; there’s a short distance between them, so you can easily use transportation like the Disney Skyliner or buses to move between them.
To make the most of your day, plan which attractions and experiences are must-dos in each park. At Galaxy’s Edge, I'd suggest prioritizing Star Wars rides, building a lightsaber or droid, and exploring the immersive atmosphere. At EPCOT, focus on key attractions such as
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Soarin’, or exploring the World Showcase.
Consider grabbing lunch at Galaxy’s Edge and dinner at one of EPCOT’s many great dining spots in the World Showcase. EPCOT has a lot of international dining options you can enjoy after a busy morning at Hollywood Studios.
Starting your day immersed in the Star Wars universe at Galaxy’s Edge and then exploring EPCOT's futuristic attractions and global experiences will make for a memorable day. I hope you find this information helpful as you prepare for an exciting visit to Walt Disney World Resort Ken! Thank you again for visiting planDisney. Have a magical day!
