Greetings, citizen of EPCOT!
Welcome to
planDisney! Thanks for stopping by as you prepare to blast off on your galaxy-saving quest. Let's discuss getting all crew members on board your spacecraft.
Paul, to attempt to add your eighth party member to your
Virtual Queue group, you'll need to speak with a Guest Experience Team Member. These helpful Cast Members can be found throughout
EPCOT under blue umbrellas. For your convenience, a Guest Experience Team is typically stationed in World Discovery on the walkway between
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and
Mission: SPACE. If you enter the theme park through the International Gateway, you should also see a Guest Experience Team umbrella along the lagoon near the France pavilion or on the path leading from World Showcase to World Celebration.
I hope this is helpful and that you can swiftly add everyone to the party. In the future, when traveling with friends, I recommend choosing one person to secure Virtual Queues for the entire group. Ensure the designated person is linked to everyone via My Friends and Family in My Disney Experience so they can pre-select the whole party before requesting to join a Virtual Queue. When I travel with my planDisney pals, I
am this person! With just one point person, the entire party receives the same boarding group and return time to ride.
Best wishes for an unforgettable day at EPCOT, Paul. Don't miss
Luminous The Symphony of Us, this theme park's newest nighttime spectacular. It's a beautiful and emotional blend of lights, music, and pyrotechnics. Thanks again for sending your question to planDisney, and please reach out if there's anything we can do to make future holidays even more magical.
Cheers,
Betsy
