Creator's Key Takeaways

We're going to share with you our best tips for how to incorporate a festival into your Epcot day.

Lightning Lane doesn't help you with that. However, I still recommend Lightning Lane for festivals because it allows you to do all of the other attractions much more quickly.

If you can eliminate crisscrossing as much as possible, it makes a huge difference in how much you're able to get done.

I make a spreadsheet of fun. And I think particularly particularly for art and particularly for holidays, the extra stuff is timed.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use Lightning Lane for non-festival attractions to free up time for festival activities.
✓Arrive early to ride major attractions before festival activities start.
✓Avoid crisscrossing the park; plan your day around World Showcase.
✓Pre-plan your schedule using the Disney app or website for entertainment times.
✓Consider using Disney Dining Plan snack credits for festival food booths.
