NEWS: Disney Springs Hotel Joins the 2024 Early Theme Park Entry List!

Do you want to enter Disney World EARLY?

Well, it’s possible if you’re staying at a Disney World hotel! This offer is available at all Disney-owned hotels, as well as some third-party hotels on Disney property. If you’re staying at participating hotels and resorts, you can enter the parks up to 30 minutes early as part of Disney’s Early Theme Park Entry program.

B Resort and Spa Lake Buena Vista is officially participating in the Early Theme Park Entry program. This hotel is located in the Disney Springs area. The Disney website listed them as participating in Early Entry until December 31, 2023, but wasn’t updated to reflect any extension in their participation in this program — until now.

Now guests who are staying at this hotel are able to enter any theme park 30 minutes before the park opens to other guests. A valid park ticket and Resort ID are required before you can enter early.

Park Pass Reservations are no longer needed for date-based tickets, but for any other admission types, a theme park reservation may be required for entry. Make sure you have your reservations in place if you need them to avoid any disruptions at the gates of the park.

Not every ride is available to get in line for during Early Entry, but it is still great to get ahead of the game and get in line for your favorite attraction. A lot of the major rides will be participating in this, so even if your favorite ride isn’t participating, you will have a ton of great options to choose from.

Select food and merchandise locations will also be open during early entry, so feel free to grab a quick breakfast or get a head start on your shopping!
