Howdy Margene!
Welcome to planDisney. I’m excited to hear that you will soon be visiting some of my favorite parks at
Walt Disney World. The
Park Hopper Option is great because it lets you hop between any of the parks you choose throughout the day. Let’s hop on over to your question so you can continue planning your visit.
I’m happy to share with you that you can absolutely begin your day at EPCOT in the morning, then hop over to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in the afternoon, and then back to EPCOT all in the same day. From EPCOT, you have a few different ways to get over to Hollywood Studios. If you decide to leave from the World Showcase, you can walk from the International Gateway around Boardwalk to the entrance or take the Friendship boat. From the front of the park, you can take my favorite transportation, the Disney Skyliner, which allows you to sail through the sky.
Before we part ways, I would like to share with you one of my top tips for EPCOT. I suggest getting a Single Pass for
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. This is my family’s absolute favorite roller coaster, and I think it’s worth getting a pass so that you have plenty of time to do all of the other experiences in the park. I would try to get as much done in the lands at the front of the park, leaving you plenty of time to stroll around the World Showcase and enjoy all the amazing country pavilions. To top it off, I’m going to make a controversial statement: I like to start in Canada and work our way around counterclockwise.
Margene, I hope that you and your family have an absolutely magical time park hopping at Walt Disney World. Please hop by anytime with your questions, and my fellow panelists or I will be happy to assist you.
See ya real soon,
Robert
