Hi there, Tami, and welcome to planDisney!
There are many perks when staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel, one of which is having early access to the theme parks. You will be surprised by how much you can get done in the 30 minutes before the rest of the theme park Guests enter through the Mickey-shaped entry points.
Some attractions are not available during Early Theme Park Entry. At the moment,
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind has a Virtual Queue system (like Tiana’s Bayou Adventure). This means that it doesn’t open until the normal operating hours. However, I have noticed that boarding groups are called a tad before the theme parks officially open. Be sure to be logged in and ready to go in the My Disney Experience App at 7 a.m. (from anywhere) or 1 p.m. (within the theme park) to grab a Virtual Queue spot to save the galaxy. You can also purchase a
Lightning Lane Single Pass for this attraction.
AN EXTRA GEM: If you are staying at a Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Disney Resorts Collection hotel, there are some evenings with Extended Evening Hours. This means that on EPCOT Extended Evening Hours nights, you’ll get an extra opportunity to ride Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. The Virtual Queue opens again at 6 p.m. and you can try for it in the
My Disney Experience App from anywhere.
Tami, I hope that this helps you plan your morning at EPCOT. If you have any additional questions, just
give us a holler here at planDisney. See you real soon!
Magic always,
LeAndra
