EPCOT Day Remy/GOTG

[DisDadWoz]

Looking for your expert advice all
For our upcoming trip we have one day at EPCOT and in attempt to try to make sure the kiddo gets on Remy and Guardians is my best plan of attack to purchase GOTG and then try to LL Remy? Is that even possible? Is there a better plan?
Doesn't matter what time we ride each of them but wanted to try and get on both.
If it matters we are staying onsite at BWV.

I would Genie Remy and VQ GotG. 7am drop is trickier for Guardians, but you should have no issue getting a group at 1pm, unless you’re visiting at a CRAZY busy time. Just make sure you tap in to enter Epcot before 1pm if you wish to snag a a virtual queue from the 1pm drop. Once you tap into the park, can book the virtual queue from anywhere, just make sure to get through the turnstiles before 1pm if you can’t make the 7am drop!

You have nothing to lose by trying for the 7am VQ for Guardians. Then book Remy. And if you didn’t get the VQ slot then buy the ILL.

The 1pm VQ is harder to get now because people can park hop at any time. I wouldn’t rely on getting it.

are you staying on property?you can use the 30 minute early entry, especially if you are staying at a epcot resort within walking distance to the world gateway enterance.as for the 1pm drop i have used it 3 or 4 times, always get a time, just be sure to get ready about 5 minutes early, refresh until about 1 minute before and keep watching.also the skyliner drops at world gateway if you are on the line, just be sure to get on early.

 

[buckeyegator]

how old are your kids? you might just do standby at remy.it is a good hike from park enterance to france pavillion so i would suggest again if you are not on the skyliner route use early admission and head straight for france,just my 2 cents.

That doesn’t really work for either of them

10-15 minute walk to gateway enterance, then 5 minutes to france pavillion. no need,imo, to purchase remy, line if you do it this way might be 30 minutes tops, again if you use early entry.

Sorry, yes BWV (boardwalk villas is where we are staying. Maybe we do the early entry to hit up Remy and try VQ for both 7 and 1.

I would either G+ Remy or go standby at rope drop. If you don’t get GotG, I’d buy ILL to be sure to get it. You could also try for the 1pm drop in addition to buying the ILL (we do this).

Rope Drop Remy. You are entering Epcot through the International Gateway Entrance. It is literally the closest attraction. Get the Virtual Queue for Guardians. Depending how old your kids are, they can get on their cell phones and help you get virtual queue for Guardians. I find you don't need to get LL for Epcot.

So my daughter and I can probably both attempt the virtual queue. Is it pretty much get ready and 6:58 am and then click the virtual queue on the app once the clock strikes 7:00.

We always take an uber from our resort to a Boardwalk resort and walk to the international gateway entrance at Epcot and get in line there. That usually opens prior to the extra 30 minutes, and we have been on and off Remy before the extra half hour even starts. If you are staying at one of the Boardwalk resorts, then you are set. We usually arrive about 30 minutes prior to the scheduled guest opening time.

I'd be up and ready to get the 7 am virtual que for GOTG. You can still purchase it if you'd like to ride a second time.

Hope this helps

I just got back from a trip to WDW where we only had one day at Epcot. Ideally it's best to have a family and friend with you. Purchase Ganie before 7am. At 7am one of you VQ GOTG and the other book Remy.

 

[Minnie1986]

My plan for my upcoming trip is similar to what many have suggested:

Try for the 7am VQ; if I don't get it, then get an ILL
Rope Drop Remy

Make sure your MyDisney Experience is updated first and your party is correct. Prior to 7 am, scroll down and click "Join Virtual Queue." Next will pop up Magic Kingdom or Epcot. Click on Epcot. You will then see Guardians listed. You can even "practice" this now. Then a few minutes before 7 am, start refreshing the page by quickly swiping down. Once the queue is officially open, you will see your party listed, click all and join the fun.

Thanks for the breakdown! This year will also be my first time trying for a VQ at Disney World.

Update on what we actually ended up doing. We did not make the 7 am virtual queue so to make sure we made it on we ended up purchasing and rode at 11:00 am. At the 1pm queue we were able to get BG 125 which gave us a call back time of 6:00. However, that time continued to change and we made it on at 8:00 pm.
