Hello Julie,
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question. You must be so excited to join in the fun of The World's Most Magical Celebration!
It sounds like you have already added the
Park Hopper Option onto your tickets, or you're thinking about doing it. I love the flexibility of being able to visit different parks each day. Disney's Animal Kingdom in the morning and EPCOT in the evening to enjoy
Harmonious sounds like a fantastic plan! Because you have your own transportation, you'll want to drive from Animal Kingdom to EPCOT.
The cost of parking will allow you to travel to different parks, so you won't have to worry about being charged twice for parking.
You'll be visiting during the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. The park is particularly beautiful during this time with all of the
character topiaries and special gardens. Be sure to enjoy sampling one or two dishes from the
outdoor kitchens, and enjoy the
Garden Rocks Concert Series. It looks like you may be able to enjoy Toby Mac (May 1-2) while you are there.
Hope this helps. Have a magical vacation!
Diane
