    Why does the ad for Epcot say that Guardians of Galaxy is included in the ticket, but we weren't able to ride it without a lightning pass?

    Hi there. Welcome to planDisney. 

    I'm so happy you've stopped by to visit us. Here at planDisney, we are Guests just like you who love helping fellow Guests have the most magical time. I hate to hear you were unable to ride Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. I wish I could say something to jump back in time to fix that, but I don't have a jump point, so all I can say is, "I am Groot." (meaning, I am so sorry)  

    I'm not sure what ad you saw, but it is true that racing through Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is included in your ticket. While you can purchase a Lightning Lane Pass for this attraction, you can also ride via a virtual queue free of charge. I'm sincerely sorry the free option did not work out for you.  

    I do have some big news that actually was just announced today. While it won't help your most recent trip, I hope it will help you for a future vacation. It was announced today that the virtual queue (which had to be reserved on the My Disney Experience app) will be discontinued on February 25, and a traditional standby queue will take its place. 

    I do hope you'll stop by and visit us when you plan your next vacation. As planDisney panelists, we seem to have pixie dust in our souls, and we want nothing more than to help you navigate your way through your vacation and help you experience the magic. Visit us on Instagram and keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog for all the latest news and announcements. We are always here to help. 

    You have a friend in me,

Meet the Panelist: Shonette, Ohio

Hi! I'm Shonette from Ohio, and I wear the ears of wife, mom, and proud Gigi to two preschool granddaughters.

I'm more excited than Ariel, with a treasure chest of thingamabobs, to be a planDisney panelist. I can't wait to help you and your family discover your unique, magical moments!  Learn More About Shonette
