    Hi! Do we by chance qualify for early entry or extended hours if staying at Orange Lake Resort (Holiday Inn)? I know there a few non-Disney hotels but I wasn’t sure about this one. Thanks!

    Welcome to planDisney, Leticia! I'm so glad to be able to answer your question today. With your trip coming up in just a few weeks, it's a great idea to start planning ahead and considering what your days in the parks are going to look like. Staying close to the magic will definitely add some convenience and flexibility to your Disney days!

    As for Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours, those special perks are only available at select hotels, and unfortunately, Orange Lake Resort Holiday Inn is not one of the participating hotels at this time. Early Entry is offered to guests staying at Disney Resort hotels and a few other select properties, including some in the Disney Springs area. Of the Holiday Inn family, the one currently included is the Holiday Inn Orlando - Disney Springs Area

    That said, you can still absolutely have an amazing time at Walt Disney World staying off-site! Just plan to arrive at the parks early to be near the front of the crowd when regular park hours begin. And be sure to keep an eye on the My Disney Experience app for posted wait times, entertainment schedules, and Lightning Lane availability. You'll still be able to pack in plenty of magic!

    I hope this answers your question, Leticia, and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you plan your magical vacation.
