Who’s heading to Disney World in 2025? Raise those hands!

If you’re already planning your trip, you’ll be excited to know that there will be SO much to see in the parks. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will be open in Magic Kingdom and the EPCOT transformation will be complete. And for those wanting to experience the entirety of Disney World — it’ll be a great year to stay in a Disney Resort! We just found out some big perks are returning for hotel guests.
In 2025, both Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours will be returning as perks for select hotels!

Early Theme Park Entry is a perk that allows everyone staying at a Disney-owned hotel to enter all four theme parks 30 minutes early daily. This can be particularly useful if you’re trying to hop in line for the park’s most popular ride first thing in the morning.

Extended Evening Hours is a perk that’s exclusive to those staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts or Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts. On select nights of the week, Disney will keep one park open for an extra two hours for those visitors only. Typically, this means you’ll get really low wait times for rides and attractions. Disney World posts the schedule for Extended Evening Hours in advance, so make sure to check the website to see what’s available during your stay.

Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours require valid admission, a Disney Resort hotel ID (like a room key), and a park reservation, if applicable. If you’re interested in using either of these perks next year, you should know that bookings for 2025 open on Tuesday, February 27th, 2024!

These perks return along with the addition of one new hotel perk! Disney World announced that in 2025, hotel guests will get complimentary access to Blizzard Beach Water Park or Typhoon Lagoon Water Park on their check-in day.
