Hey Howdy Hey Jennifer and welcome back to planDisney!
Sounds like your trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth is right around the corner! I bet you both are getting super excited about your fun and exciting trip to Walt Disney World Resort. There is so much happing at this time that I am super excited to share a few things with you. But first, let's talk about these tickets and how to access them once you and your daughter get to the parks.
As you have noticed, there are several ways that you and your daughter will be able to access your tickets. From the traditional cards, MagicBands or the new
Disney MagicMobile Service, you have several options to choose from to access your tickets. If you choose to go with cards, once you get to the parks, you would have to stop at Guest Services outside of the park and at the window you can ask for the cards you will use to tap into the park. MagicBands are always an option, but at this point, you would have to purchase them at a location such as Disney Springs at World of Disney to have them for your trip or select for expedited shipping at checkout on ShopDisney.
One of the newest and easiest ways to access your tickets is by setting up a MagicMobile Pass. With this pass, you can set it up for free from your smart device through your
My Disney Experience app. From your home screen on the app, tap on the three horizontal lines at the bottom right corner. Look for the tile "Disney MagicMobile" and tap on that one. From there, follow the prompts and you should be set to use your smart device to tap into the park and to be used anytime you need to access your app such as with Genie+.
Now, there are so many reasons to be super excited about your upcoming trip but a few of my favorites are over in EPCOT. You still have time to check out
EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival. This celebration of a new growing season and warmer weather has so many great experiences. Everything from the sights of the blooming and vibrant flower and garden displays around the park to tasting your way around the park with so many great foods and drink offerings is something you will want to plan some time to take in. I would highly advise you to stop by the La Isla Fresca booth for some arepas that are so incredibly good!
The other exciting and recent addition to the park is
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. This new coster allows you to partner with the Guardians to save the galaxy, again. No spoilers here other than this will be one attraction you will not want to miss. This one is available to access either by
virtual queue or by
Individual Lightning Lane. Virtual queues open at 7:00 a.m. EST or 1:00 p.m. and can be accessed through your My Disney Experience app by clicking on the Virtual Queue tile. You can also purchase your Individual Lightning Lane to take the stress out and ensure you have your spot for this attraction.
Wow, I could keep going on about all the great and exciting things to experience on your next trip as there is so much! I hope this information was helpful to give you options to get into the parks and excited for your upcoming trip. Let us know if you have any further questions, we would be happy to help.
Have a Magical Day,
Nick
