Hi Kellie, welcome to planDisney!
I bet you are one of the few people that didn't mind losing an hour of sleep this weekend because it got you one hour closer to your Walt Disney World Resort vacation! You're too excited to sleep when you're just days away from thrills like
Expedition Everest - Legend of the Forbidden Mountain and classic attractions like
"it's a small world."Everybody Wants to Rule the World, and most Guests want to experience
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT. This attraction redefines the meaning and feeling of thrill rides. It's truly an out-of-this-universe experience; let's get you into that Galaxarium.
There are currently two ways to experience Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind - by joining the
virtual queue and/or by purchasing an
Individual Lightning Lane attraction. Since you mentioned the purchase option, Kellie, I'm gleeful as Groot to share that tickets with the
Park Hopper Option allow you to purchase up to two Individual Lightning Lanes for eligible attractions at any of the four theme parks each park day. Guests staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel can book their first Individual Lightning Lane attraction at 7:00 a.m.; all others can book at park opening. I recommend purchasing your Individual Lighting Lane for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind as soon as you are able. You must book an arrival window for after 2:00 p.m., which is when Park Hopping hours begin. I recommend booking for 2:30 p.m. or later so you have time to walk from the park entrance to the attraction.
To join the 7:00 a.m. virtual queue for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, you must have a theme park reservation for EPCOT. To join the 1:00 p.m. virtual queue, you must be in EPCOT. Guests staying at a Disney Deluxe Resort with a Park Hopper Ticket can join the 6:00 p.m. virtual queue on nights that
extended evening theme park hours are offered; Guests taking advantage of this benefit do not need to be in EPCOT.
One Way or Another, Kellie, I hope you get to experience the awesomeness of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Please hop back to planDisney with any other trip-planning questions.
Choose magic,
Jennifer
