Disney has announced that Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will be added to the Early Entry lineup at EPCOT beginning February 25, 2025. The change comes as the hugely popular roller coaster transitions from a Virtual Queue to a standby line on the same day.
Early Entry, available to guests staying at Disney Resort hotels and select partner resorts, allows entry into the park 30 minutes before the official opening time. With Cosmic Rewind now included, Early Entry guests will have the chance to experience the ride with a shorter wait before regular park guests arrive. Cosmic Rewind is already a part of EPCOT's Extended Evening Hours for deluxe resort guests.
The attraction will continue offering Lightning Lane access through the Lightning Lane Single Pass or Lightning Lane Premier Pass, allowing guests to purchase expedited entry.
With this update on February 25, EPCOT's Early Entry lineup now includes:
- Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
- Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure
- Frozen Ever After
- Test Track (subject to its ongoing refurbishment schedule)
- Soarin' Around the World
- Mission: SPACE
- Spaceship Earth
- The Seas with Nemo & Friends
The addition of Cosmic Rewind is expected to shift morning crowd patterns at EPCOT, as it becomes one of the top priorities for Early Entry guests. Stay tuned for further updates.
