Welcome back to planDisney, Kate! I am happy to see you’ve returned to us for more tips, advice, and recommendations!
There are many
benefits to enjoying your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation by staying in a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel, such as
Early Theme Park Entry, Extended Evening Theme Park Hours,
complimentary transportation, unique theming, and proximity to the parks. As much as I enjoy staying on property, sometimes we, too, like to switch it up.
To confirm what I see, head to the
Early Theme Park Entry for Disney Resort Hotel Guests page and scroll down to the Participating Hotels section. About halfway down, you should see “Other Select Hotels” and about 15 hotels listed. If I am reading it correctly, I don’t believe your accommodations will qualify.
Don’t fret, Kate. Just because you can't take advantage of the 30 minutes in the morning doesn’t mean you won’t be able to take advantage of other time-saving opportunities, like booking Virtual Queues, Individual Lightning Lanes, and Lightning Lanes through
Disney Genie+, to help you maximize your time in the parks!
If you have any questions or want more planning help,
drop me a line!
See you real soon!
