Hi Jessica,
Thank you for visiting us today at the
Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question. I hope your vacation is coming up soon. Mine is not until early next year, and I'm already counting down the hours!
One of the great benefits of booking a
vacation package is that all your entitlements and purchases, such as
Theme Park Tickets and
Dining Plans, are available from the moment you Check-In and are good until you Check-Out from the hotel. Packages also include awesome
Magical Extras, like vouchers for
Fantasia Gardens and Fairways Miniature Golf and
Winter Summerland Miniature Golf, and access to
ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
Guests may request their Theme Park Tickets associated with a vacation package, one or two days in advance of their Check-In, by visiting
Guest Relations at the entrance of any of the Theme Parks or
Disney Springs. Magical Extras and other benefits like Dining Plans are not available prior to Check-In, but you may want to ask just in case if they could make an exception. A great option is to ask Guest Services to add an extra day to your Theme Park Tickets for a small price difference.
One last tip: if you visit the Theme Parks the day before arrival, you will only be able to make same-day
FastPass+ reservations. This could be a great day to find
Disney PhotoPass Service photographers for special
Magic Shots. Happy planning!
Ricardo.
