    Is Bonnet Creek still part of the Disney Resorts that allows early entry and staying late at the parks?

    Welcome to planDisney, Sylvia! I'm happy to help you with your question today.

    Currently, the Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek is listed as one of the hotels that offers Early Theme Park Entry. You can find the other hotels that offer this perk on the Early Theme Park Entry page.

    Early Theme Park Entry can be key to tackling your must-do itinerary at the Walt Disney World Resort. If you're really looking to make a dent and take advantage of shorter wait times, I have a few tips for you:
    • Plan to get to and through the security gates at the park you are visiting at least 30 minutes before Early Theme Park Entry time. This way, you're at the head of the pack and can walk (not run) to your first attraction.
    • Have the attractions in mind that you'd like to visit during Early Theme Park Entry. Remember, not all experiences will be open during this time. Most notably, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom Park are the currently available lands during the extra 30 minutes at this park. Once again, the Early Theme Park Entry page is your best friend as it lists the attractions that are typically available during this valuable time.
    • Use the My Disney Experience mobile app to find the map of the park you're visiting to ensure you know where you're headed first. I normally rely on my husband for this if it's a ride whose path I don't have memorized yet. I just really struggle with maps!
    • If you're purchasing Lightning Lane Single Passes for the most popular rides at the resort, and you're okay with only doing them once, consider not lining up for them during this time. Instead, go to some of the less popular attractions because you'll be more likely to get more done during this time. Then, when the rest of the Guests have been let into the park, you can just show up at your reserved time at the Lightning Lane entrance of the attraction for which you purchased a Lightning Lane Single Pass.
    Sylvia, best wishes for your most magical trip ever. If you have any other questions, I'm more than happy to answer them for you!

    Ka-chow,
    Matt
