Hi Silvia! Welcome to planDisney!
I'm excited to hear you'll be visiting the Walt Disney World Resort later this year! With so many new and returning experiences coming to the parks, you are bound to have a magical time!
One of the biggest perks to staying in a Disney Resorts Hotel or other select hotels is access to
Early Theme Park Entry. This benefit gives you an extra 30 minutes in the park before it officially opens and gives you a head start from other Guests staying elsewhere.
I have great news for you, Silvia! The
Holiday Inn Orlando, located in the Disney Springs area, is included as one of the participating hotels. By staying here, you'll have access to Early Theme Park Entry! All four parks are currently participating in this perk, so it won't matter which park you plan to visit each day. I've always found that heading straight toward popular attractions during this time is the best bet since you'll be able to ride them with minimal wait times. Another strategy is to go after rides that generally have lower wait times. This way, you'll be able to ride multiple attractions in a short amount of time. Ultimately, you'll have plenty of options to plan for on your park days.
The Holiday Inn Orlando is conveniently located just steps from Disney Springs. On days or nights that you don't plan to be in the parks, you can take a short walk over to Disney Springs to dine and shop. There are some wonderful table service restaurants located here, including
Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' and Wine Bar George. Advanced dining reservations are highly recommended for each location.
I hope you have a magical visit, Silvia!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
Happy planning!
