Greetings George!
Congratulations on your first visit! How exciting! It makes my Disney-loving heart so happy to know that you will be enjoying the Most Magical Place on Earth so soon! Hooray! You've come to the right place to help with your pixie-dusted planning and I am thrilled to answer your question!
You've made a great choice with
Disney's Pop Century Resort. The theming is wonderful and as you know, you have access to one of my favorite modes of Disney Transportation--the
Disney Skyliner. I am happy to inform you that you may indeed enter through the International Gateway for
Disney After Hours at EPCOT. You may enter the park as early as 7:00 PM and the Disney Skyliner should continue running until about one hour after the event closes to get you back to your resort.
During the event, you'll find Disney ice cream treats, popcorn and assorted bottled beverages available included in the ticket price. You'll also find some of my favorite attractions available including
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure and
Living with the Land. If you arrive to the park early, you'll also be able to see EPCOT's new nighttime spectacular:
Luminous The Symphony of Us.
Thank you for visiting planDisney, George! I can't wait for your adventure to begin. If there is anything else we can help you with, please let us know. We are here to help!
Magical Wishes,
Lauren
