NEW Star-Lord Meet and Greet is Coming to EPCOT

Hey Disney Vacationers, it’s time to get pumped because Walt Disney World just dropped some exciting news! Starting September 29th, 2024, you’ll have the chance to meet none other than Star-Lord himself at EPCOT. If you’re like me and love the Guardians of the Galaxy, this is an experience you won’t want to miss. Here’s everything we know so far, plus a little walk down memory lane to catch you up on Star-Lord’s previous Disney appearances. Let’s dig into the new Star-Lord meet and greet at EPCOT!

When Does the Star-Lord Meet and Greet Start?

Mark your calendars for September 29th, 2024! That’s the official date Disney announced for when you’ll finally be able to come face-to-face with Star-Lord at EPCOT. Whether you’re a die-hard Marvel fan or just love Chris Pratt’s portrayal, this meet and greet is going to be one of the hottest tickets in the park.

Where Can You Meet Star-Lord in EPCOT?

Now here’s the kicker—Disney hasn’t confirmed the exact location yet. Mysterious, right? They did release a teaser video announcing Star-Lord’s return, but no word on where this meet and greet will go down. My best guess? Somewhere near Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in World Discovery. It makes sense since it’s the Guardians’ stomping ground in EPCOT, and it’s where a lot of the Marvel magic is already happening. Keep your eyes peeled for updates!

Star-Lord’s Disney History

This isn’t Star-Lord’s first time popping up at Walt Disney World, and if you’ve been following his appearances, you know he’s made some pretty cool stops over the years.

• Hollywood Studios: Star-Lord previously had a meet and greet at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, right alongside Baby Groot. It was one of those rare chances to get some quality face time with these Guardians.
• runDisney Events: If you’re a runner, you might have been lucky enough to snap a pic with Star-Lord and Gamora in front of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind during select runDisney races. They’ve been known to show up and cheer on racers, adding an extra sprinkle of awesomeness to your race experience.

Star-Lord in EPCOT Shows

But wait, there’s more! Star-Lord’s been part of another EPCOT experience, too. If you were around during the summers of 2018 and 2019, you might’ve caught the Guardians of the Galaxy – Awesome Mix Live show at the American Gardens Theater in World Showcase. The show featured Star-Lord and Gamora jamming out to some classic 80s hits, with a live band backing them up. It was a total blast and gave fans a different way to connect with the Guardians.

What’s Next?

If you want to be among the first to meet Star-Lord at EPCOT, make sure to plan your trip around September 29th. Keep checking back for updates on the location—I’m sure Disney will drop more details soon. In the meantime, brush up on your Guardians trivia, and maybe even get ready to drop a dance-off challenge when you meet him.

So there you have it. The Star-Lord meet and greet is about to hit EPCOT, and it’s going to be epic. Don’t sleep on this one, Marvel fans—get ready for a galactic experience like no other!

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
