Hiya Joan!
Welcome to planDisney, the most magical place on the internet! I am so glad that you decided to come to us with your planning questions. I love that you are an old-school EPCOT fan, and I completely understand holding on to these keepsakes. I even have a stack of old theme park maps from my first visits!
One of the best things about Walt Disney World theme park tickets is that unused theme park tickets practically never expire. Indeed, if you go over the dates set for your theme park tickets, you can still
use their value as a credit to purchase new tickets. In addition, if you still have theme park tickets that were purchased with
no expiration dates, Disney will still honour them! Unfortunately, theme park tickets cannot be exchanged for money alone and can only be deducted from the price of select tickets of equal or higher value. For more information about using expired tickets, I suggest
reaching out to a Cast Member via chat, email or phone. Since you live in Florida, you can also stop by a ticketing window at any of the four theme parks or the Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs.
Now, Soarin' to Tower, we are ready for takeoff! Did you hear of all the awesome experiences that have arrived and are coming to EPCOT? Earlier this year,
Connections Café and
Eatery opened its doors to Guests. Its diverse menu inspired by international cuisines is absolutely delicious, and I know that you will love the decor. With so many easter eggs from the old EPCOT days, no visit is ever the same! In addition, the brand new attraction
Guardians of the Galaxy - Cosmic Rewind is finally launching on May 27th, 2022, with the option of signing up to a virtual queue. I cannot wait to ride this attraction, and I bet the Marvel fans and thrill-seekers in your party must be so excited! Lastly, the dates for this year's edition of the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival were recently announced and you will have so much more time to enjoy its delicious offerings! In the meantime, you can enjoy the wonderful
EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival until July 4th, 2022.
I hope this was helpful, Joan, and that you and your Ohana will be able to enjoy the Disney magic real soon. If you have any other questions or need help planning your next visit, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're always ready to help and celebrate the future hand in hand!
Have a magical day,
Ariane
