Hi Nicola, welcome to planDisney!
You've asked a great question about experiencing the two newest, most thrilling attractions at Walt Disney World Resort:
TRON Lightcycle / Run and
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT. Both attractions have the "Wow" factor and leave you wondering, "How did Imagineers do that?!"
Theme park reservations are required through January 8, 2024, and I'm so glad you've reserved them for your September visit. For tickets with the
Park Hopper option, a theme park reservation is required to join the 7:00 a.m.
virtual queue for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and TRON Lightcycle / Run. That's because there's a good chance your boarding group would be called before park hopping hours begin at 2:00 p.m. You must be physically inside an attraction's theme park to join the 1:00 p.m. virtual queue, so that's not a valid option with your Park Hopper ticket, either.
Now for the good news, Nicola. You can experience Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and/or TRON Lightcycle / Run any day by purchasing an
Individual Lightning Lane via the Tip Board of the
My Disney Experience mobile app (three small lines at the bottom right of the app's homepage > Tip Board). Guests staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel can purchase up to two Individual Lightning Lanes at 7:00 a.m. each day. All other Guests can purchase at park opening.
If you happen to be staying at a Disney Resort hotel that qualifies you for
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours (Disney Deluxe Resort, Disney Deluxe Villa Resort, or other select hotels), you can join an additional 6:00 p.m. virtual queue from anywhere on nights this perk is offered.
I hope this information helps you save the universe, launch into the Grid, and make magical memories.
Plan magic; planDisney.
Jennifer
