Howdy Ashley!
Welcome to planDisney. The
Disney Contemporary Resort holds a special place in the hearts of Walt Disney World fans, as it was the first resort completed in time for its 1971 opening. This magical resort has a compelling story, and if you have a few minutes, there is a great article on the Disney Parks Blog about its creation. I think you will like it.
Alrighty, so guests staying at a Disney World Resort Hotel and select other hotels can take advantage of a 30-minute
Early Entry into Walt Disney World theme parks every day of their stay (including check-in and check-out days). If you are staying at one of these hotels, then you can certainly take advantage of this popular benefit.
At the Magic Kingdom, rides and experiences in Fantasyland and Tomorrowland are typically open during early entry. This is a great opportunity to ride popular rides like Peter Pan’s Flight before other guests enter the parks.
Since you will be visiting soon, I highly recommend checking out all the events and experiences at
Cool Kids’ Summer. Each park will have unique character meet-and-greets, activities, and plenty more for the whole family to enjoy. If you are staying at a Walt Disney World Resort, you can also take advantage of free water park entry on the day of your check-in.
Ashley, I hope this helps with your planning and that you and your family have a magical visit to Walt Disney World.
See ya real soon,
Robert
