Hi Catherine! I like everything about your question…Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa,
Early Theme Park Entry, and
Disney’s Hollywood Studios! This is going to be a great “Disney day!”
As a Guest of a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, you have access to the Early Theme Park Entry benefit! Disney’s Hollywood Studios has early entry beginning at 8:30 AM on July 30, 2024.
Disney Transportation officially states that it begins running 30 minutes before park opening. However, my experience staying at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa (and other resorts) is that transportation begins at least 45 minutes before park opening (if not earlier). I recommend being at the bus stop no later than 7:45.
Catherine, if you’re trying to get to Disney’s Hollywood Studios as early as possible to experience a favorite attraction, you might want to consider purchasing
Disney Genie+. This service allows Guests to forgo the traditional standby queue and have an expedited wait in line for select attractions! Disney Genie+ can be purchased on the MyDisney Experience app.
While Disney Genie+ applies to most attractions at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, it is not available for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. This attraction can be experienced via the traditional standby queue or by purchasing an
Individual Lightning Lane. Guests can purchase an Individual Lightning Lane on the MyDisney Experience app.
Dreams do come true!
