Hello there Maya,
Sending a very warm welcome to planDisney your way! Oh boy, Animal Kingdom and EPCOT in one gorgeous Spring day... that's a whole lot of pixie-dusted fun! You've got quite a magical plan in the works, so let's talk about getting your
Lightning Lane Passes arranged for your practically perfect Disney Day.
To answer your question, even if your park reservation is for Animal Kingdom in the morning - yes, you can purchase a Lightning Lane Single Pass (LLSP) for EPCOT in the afternoon. This is actually an awesome plan! When you purchase your LLSP in the
My Disney Experience app, you'll be allowed to reserve an afternoon time slot for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Once you arrive, you can skip the stand by line... and hop right on the BEST RIDE IN THE UNIVERSE!! In my opinion. And I know that I'm right. But seriously, this has become my family's absolute favorite attraction in all of Walt Disney World. If you haven't experienced it yet, you're going to absolutely love it!
As for your booking window, you are correct. As an off-site guest, you'll be able to log on and purchase any Lightning Lane passes 3 days prior to your park reservation date, starting at 7:00 am Eastern Time. Be sure to log on right away, as they do sometimes run out of availability. To help this purchase go smoothly, make sure you have your theme park admission tickets linked in the My Disney Experience app for everyone in your party. You've got this!
Starting your day at Disney's Animal Kingdom, when the animals on Kilimanjaro Safari are all bright eyed and bushy tailed is so ideal. This is an amazing park for finding tasty foods, so hopefully you'll have time to enjoy lunch here? If you do, my top quick-service recommendation is
Satu-li Canteen in Pandora... their bowl entrees are so flavorful, and the Blueberry Cream Cheese Mousse dessert is as delicious as it is photo worthy!
Happy countdown to you! I'm so excited for your two-park adventure, and it's coming up very soon! Have a magical visit, Maya, and
please swing by planDisney and see me if there are any other questions I can help with.
See ya' real soon,
Tami
