One of the BEST things about staying in a Disney World hotel is that you get extra time in the parks!
Disney has just announced some BIG news about those perks — they’re being extended through 2024!
Early Theme Park Entry allows you to get into any Disney World park 30 minutes before it opens to the public every day of your stay (provided you have a ticket and a Park Pass reservation, that is!). This is a HUGE perk, because you can use this time to ride some of the parks’ most popular rides before the lines get long.
In addition, Disney World hotel guests at Deluxe Resorts and Deluxe Villas get Extended Evening Hours — one or two nights per week when EPCOT and the Magic Kingdom stay open for Disney World hotel guests for a couple of hours after they close to the general public. Another great opportunity to ride more popular rides in an almost empty park!
Disney has also announced some big news today about the Disney Dining Plan and a HUGE change to Park Pass Reservations! Stay tuned to AllEars for the latest!
Have you used Early Theme Park Entry or Extended Evening Hours in Disney World? Tell us about your experience in the comments!
I used extended evening hours twice at Epcot. This allowed me to take advantage of the extra virtual queue window for Guardians of the Galaxy. My new favorite ride.
Why are the Deluxe hotels the only ones getting the night time hours. We have been coming to Disney world for 38 years. I am in my late 60’s and can’t afford to stay in those hotels but still stay at the All Stars. Seems like your punishing guests who have been faithful to Disney for a long time. Makes me sad but I’ll still be arriving in August for my next visit
Agreed…our first trip was 1973…we most often stay in moderate for just 5 days flying from NY which is all we can afford….so we don’t qualify?
