Aloha, Angie.
I'm so glad you've stopped by planDisney again to chat about your upcoming vacation. I bet you are beyond excited to finally be returning to
The Most Magical Place on Earth after your lengthy hiatus, so welcome home!
June is one of my favorite months to visit Walt Disney World Resort, because the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is in full bloom at
EPCOT. I love walking around World Showcase to admire the
topiaries, explore the beautiful gardens, and savor samples of the tasty eats and drinks from the
Outdoor Kitchens. I could pretty much spend my whole vacation watching the butterflies flutter through the air in Bambi's Butterfly House. They're mesmerizing! I'm excited for you to experience this EPCOT Festival for yourself!
When you get to EPCOT, you'll notice a lot has changed since your last trip. EPCOT is going through a major transformation, but change can be good! After all, these changes brought us
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, a new coaster that opens this summer, and the
Space 220 Restaurant and Lounge where you can dine amongst the stars. I'm happy to report that children are allowed in the
Space 220 Lounge (they just cannot sit at the bar). As you've probably guessed, reservations for dining at the restaurant and lounge are highly sought after and can be tricky to get. I think it's wise to try snagging a
dining reservation at both locations. If you aren't successful in securing a reservation
when your dining reservation window opens up, don't give up hope. People's plans change all the time, so there's a good chance availability could open up at some point before you embark on your vacation. Keep checking for open dining reservations up to the day of. You could also use the
Mobile Dine Walk-up Availability feature in your
My Disney Experience app on the day you're at EPCOT to be added to the walk-up list at Space 220.
Angie, I'm crossing my fingers you're successful in your quest to secure a Space 220 reservation. I hope your trip is truly out-of-this-world amazing! We look forward to seeing you again here at planDisney real soon.
You are the magic,
Alyssa
