Welcome to planDisney, Cindy! I am glad to hear you already have your
Disney Park Pass reservations in place for your upcoming visit to
EPCOT. As long as each member of your party has a Disney Park Pass reservation tied to their admission ticket, there is no need for everyone to arrive at the same time. The reservation is valid for all day, so some of your party can go ahead and enter the park and get started on all the fun and the rest can join you when they arrive.
I'm glad to hear you'll be visiting during the
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts! I just love noshing my way around the
Festival food studios. I'm hoping to see a foodie guide to the Festival with menu descriptions and photos on the
Disney Parks Blog soon, so keep your eye out. During your visit, don't forget to get photos of your group together at some of the fun photo ops!
Cindy, if you have any other questions as your plan your visit, please stop by planDisney again anytime. We are always happy to help.
