    If I book 2 nights at a Disney world hotel and only get a 1 day pass to the parks can we still access the park early if they open early?

    Hello Sarah, and welcome to planDisney. 

    3-2-1----It's going to be a Happy New Year to you! It looks like you will be starting 2026 in Wonderland-worthy style with a trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth. I love your plan!  

    I love staying at Resort hotels as much as visiting the theme parks. Each hotel has its own unique theme, along with different restaurants, pools, and amenities. What they all share, however, are some amazing perks, including Early Theme Park Entry. This magical benefit allows Resort hotel Guests (like you) to enter either Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, or EPCOT 30 minutes early each day! This is a great time to experience some of the most popular attractions like Space Mountain, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, or Slinky Dog Dash before the official park opening. 

    You don't need to be curiouser and curiouser about this because I am happier than the Mad Hatter at a tea party to let you know that this benefit will continue through 2026, AND you receive this benefit on your check-in and check-out days! So if you plan on purchasing a 1-day ticket, you can take advantage of Early Theme Park Entry on your ticketed park day. Also, as you get closer to your trip, be sure to check the Hours & Events Calendar for those opening times. 

    Thanks for stopping by with your question! Visit us anytime and follow us on Instagram. I hope your trip has you grinning from ear to ear like the Cheshire Cat. Hip, hip, hurray for a magical 2026 vacation. 

    Magical memories,
