Welcome to planDisney, Geoff! Your
summer of fun will be here before you know it, and you're arriving just in time to see the debut of some new entertainment offerings at Disney's Hollywood Studios during your visit and to enjoy the last few days of the
EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival! With so much magic waiting, I know you'll make the most magical memories!
Geoff,
Disney After Hours events are my favorite; I love the ambiance of late nights at the theme parks, and the complimentary snacks and drinks and super short wait times are an added bonus! My family attended
After Hours at Hollywood Studios just last month, and when we exited the park at the event's closing, the
Disney Skyliner was not operating. But, hakuna matata, Geoff, Disney would never leave you stranded! If the Skyliner is not operating when the event ends, you can head over to the bus stop to find a complimentary Disney bus to shuttle you back to your Disney Resort hotel!
Before I let you go, Geoff, remember that you can enter the parks a few hours before the party begins if you're looking for a little extra magic! I like to take advantage of visiting a few attractions that won't be operating during the party time during that early entry; it's also a great way to take in the nighttime fireworks before immersing yourself in the fun of the party! We also really enjoyed some rare character offerings at Hollywood Studios during our time - keep your eyes peeled for unique friends like Little Bo Peep in
Toy Story Land and Jiminy Cricket near
Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway! I haven't attended the event at EPCOT yet, but I imagine a few spins on
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind would be the highlight of my night there; maybe you can try to experience a few different song options while you're there!
Have the best time, Geoff! And come back to
planDisney with any other planning questions before your arrival!
Magic Awaits,
Alison
