CONFIRMED: A Disney World Hotel Perk is Changing

Surprise, surprise, there’s a new change coming to Disney World — and you’re going to love it!

One of the best parts about staying at a Disney hotel is Disney’s Early Entry perk, and it’s going to be getting a nice change. The perk gives resort guests extra time in the parks before it officially opens for guests, and the perk has just added a NEW attraction to its list!

Disney World’s Early Entry gives resort guests an extra 30 minutes in the park before it opens — it’s got to be up there as our favorite perk you get by staying at a Disney resort hotel. It’s a great way to be the first people on the most popular rides in the park.

Each park has a limited list of attractions that are open during the time. Over at Animal Kingdom, they’ve made a change, adding a NEW attraction to the list.

Yep, we’re talking about Disney World’s newest attraction, Zootopia: Better Zoogether. Now, the attraction has been added to the early entry list! The full list of Early Entry attractions at the park now includes:

• • Avatar Flight of Passage
  • DINOSAUR
  • Expedition Everest
  • Na’vi River Journey
  • Zootopia: Better Zoogether

Adding this attraction to the early entry list is a major upgrade to this hotel perk. It’s also being added to Extended Evening hours, which lets guests at certain hotels stay longer in the parks at night.

Get ready for the perk to change AGAIN in a few months, as DinoLand U.S.A. is getting ready to close permanently to make way for the new Tropical Americas land, Pueblo Esperanza. DinoLand will officially close on February 2nd, 2026. Which means Dinosaur will be taken off the Early Entry list on that day!

We’re happy about the new change! We’ll be keeping an eye out for more Disney news and updates, so make sure to stay tuned to AllEars.
