Welcome back to planDisney, Patricia! We're happy to hear you have another trip to Walt Disney World Resort in the works!
Hotels in the Disney Springs Resort Area offer advantages similar to official Disney-owned properties. And what makes them even more appealing is that they are conveniently located within walking distance of some of my favorite Disney Springs dining spots. Don't miss the Crispy Mac & Cheese Bites at
Wine Bar George and the legendary chocolate chip cookies at
Gideon's Bakehouse!
I spoke with a Cast Member today who confirmed that
Early Theme Park Entry is currently a benefit for registered Guests of these hotels. In addition, Disney Springs Resort Area guests can make
dining reservations for their stay (up to 10-day) 60 days before their check-in date. The only perk not included is complimentary
theme park parking; however, they all have free scheduled shuttle bus service to all four Walt Disney World Resort Theme Parks.
If you haven't done so already, Patricia, you'll want to make your park reservations via the
Disney Park Pass system. You can check if your desired date and theme park are currently available using the
Theme Park Reservation Availability Calendar.
Hopefully, I've answered all your questions, Patricia! Please come back and see us again soon!
Take care,
Eean
