Hi Jeremy! Welcome to planDisney!
Oh boy! Your
Walt Disney World vacation will be here before you know it! I'm excited you'll get the chance to experience some of the amazing new additions to the parks! Disney's Hollywood Studios and EPCOT have both seen new attractions open in the last couple of years that have quickly become must-dos during your stay!
I have great news for you, Jeremy! You can certainly make an
Individual Lightning Lane purchase at 7 AM for the park you are hopping to. The only caveat to this is you must be staying at a Disney Resorts Hotel in order to make this reservation at 7 AM. If you are not, you must wait until the official park opening time to do. Also, make sure you purchased the
Park Hopper Option when planning your stay. You'll be able to make your way there starting at 2 PM.
Park hopping between these two parks will definitely give you plenty of options to ride a variety of attractions. EPCOT has recently debuted a thrilling attraction, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. I was blown away by how amazing this ride is and how much fun I had on it. Currently, this attraction is utilizing a
Virtual Queue System, so you'll need to snag a boarding group at 7 AM to be able to ride this attraction before hopping to Hollywood Studios. You can also purchase an Individual Lightning Lane for this one as well if you choose to.
Jeremy, you have a lot to look forward to at each of these parks.
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is one of the most immersive lands that Disney has ever created. The moment you step foot inside, you are transformed into a new world. Every detail down to the sounds and smells makes you feel as though you have entered the planet of Batuu.
I hope you have a magical time during your stay! See ya real soon!
Greg
