Hiya Charlotte,
Welcome to planDisney! Thank you so much for your excellent question about taking advantage of the benefits of being a Guest of a Walt Disney World Resort Collection Hotel. Stay onsite at Walt Disney World Resort has so many
incredible benefits! My family and I love the proximity to the Theme Parks (especially with a toddler), the complimentary resort and Theme Park parking, and spending extra time in the parks.
The best news of all, Charlotte, is that your benefits are available on the day you check in to your resort hotel and check out. So feel free to enjoy the
Early Theme Park Entry and
Extended Evening Hours when you check-in and after you've checked out. Just make sure that your resort hotel reservation is linked to your
My Disney Experience account, and you can access your resort Guest perks!
Before I let you go, Charlotte, can I make a recommendation?! Before you check out of your resort hotel, take a nap. Days at the Theme Parks are a marathon, and you will appreciate having a little extra rest before you take on extended evening hours on check-out day! Please come back and see us if you need anything else.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
