Hello Jennifer!
A work conference at
Walt Disney World? Sign me up! I’ve had the same thing happen to me a couple of times, and the work didn’t seem quite as hard when I knew that there was a visit to EPCOT waiting for me at the end of the day! One of my work trips had an amazing reception in
Reflections of China in the World Showcase at EPCOT!
Jennifer, let’s get you speeding toward your
Lightning Lane passes!
When staying at
Disney Resort hotels or other select hotels, guests can purchase Lightning Lane passes starting 7 days before the first day of their resort stay, for their length of stay up to 14 days.
If you are not staying at a Disney Resort hotel or other select hotel, then you can purchase Lightning Lane passes 3 days in advance.
On your first day of eligibility, starting at 7am Eastern Time, you can purchase Lightning Lane passes for the days you have valid theme park admission. You can also choose experiences and arrival windows for Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass experiences.
At EPCOT the Lightning Lane Single Pass Attraction that is not available with the Multi Pass is
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. This amazing spin through space will need to be purchased as a Single Pass experience if you want to bypass the standby queue.
If you choose the Multi Pass Experiences, you will be prompted to choose up to three experiences and arrival windows to start. Your first choice will be one of
Frozen Ever After,
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure or
Test Track. You would then choose two more exciting experiences from a list of eight EPCOT adventures including my favorite
Soarin’ Around the World! After redeeming your first selection of the day, you can choose another Multi Pass experience, of course subject to availability.
Jennifer, since you mentioned that you are not arriving until 4pm, my advice would be to make your first Multi Pass selections the most important experiences you want to enjoy that evening because some Lightning Lane experiences could become subject to availability by the late evening hours.
I hope this helps you enjoy your day at EPCOT Jennifer! Oh, and don’t forget to take some time to enjoy a Mickey Bar while you travel around the World Showcase!
Have a magical time!
Kurt
