Hi, there!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with another great question, Linda. It's my pleasure to help you prepare for your next Disney vacation!
If you have the
Park Hopper Option, you do
not need a Theme Park Reservation for EPCOT to take advantage of the
Extended Theme Park Hours opportunity to join the virtual queue for
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at 6:00 PM. For example, let's say that you have a Theme Park Reservation at Magic Kingdom Park on a day that Extended Theme Park Hours are scheduled at EPCOT. As long as you have entered Magic Kingdom Park any time before hopping over to EPCOT, you're eligible to enjoy the Extended Theme Park Hours at EPCOT that evening. And guess what? You don't even need to be in EPCOT at 6:00 PM to request to join the virtual queue for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind during Extended Theme Park Hours. On the day my family joined the additional virtual queue during Extended Theme Park Hours, I completed the process from our Disney Resort hotel room! Easy!
When you're in
EPCOT, be sure to stop by
Connections Eatery for a bite to eat. This brand-new quick service dining location is located right next to Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Connections Eatery features an incredible menu! My family of five loved our first meal at Connections Eatery so much, that we park hopped to EPCOT on the last day of our vacation just so we could eat there a second time! Our absolute favorite menu item is the Liege Waffle. It's a must-try!
I hope this was helpful, Linda. Don't hesitate to send us more planning questions as you're counting down the days to your next Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
